H2H: RB Leipzig vs. Olympique Lyonnais – Score prediction (02.10.2019)

Overview.

RB Leipzig enter this UEFA Champions League (UCL) Group G fixture aiming to claim a second straight victory in the competition, for what would be the first time in the club’s history. In four previous meetings with French opposition, the hosts have a positive record that currently stands at: W2, D1, L1, with that single loss coming on the road. Julian Nagelsmann’s men enter this clash having lost just two of their last 21 Bundesliga home fixtures, while leading at half-time in each of those wins. Interestingly, RB Leipzig’s seven historical UCL matches have produced a total of 24 goals (3.43 per-match on average), with two thirds (16) of these goals coming before the break.

Visitors Lyon come into this game having lost just one of their previous 12 UCL fixtures and the fact that they’ve failed to score in just one of their last ten UCL roads trips will surely bring confidence to their fans. However, the visitors haven’t won any of their last four UCL trips to Germany. When bringing domestic form into consideration, Lyon travel here winless in their previous six Ligue 1 (L1) matches, while failing to find the net in each of these three losses.
