BARCELONA-LYON:
The first leg, played in France and finished 0-0, leaves the French able to qualify, but they face a decidedly stronger Barcelona, and ready to hit the qualification for the tournament quarter-finals. The home team, currently ranked first in the La Liga with 63 points, 7 points ahead of Atletico Madrid, are in good shape, as they come from 4 straight wins in the league, the last against Vallecano at home (3 -1). At the Champions League level, however, Barcelona boasts 5 victories in the tournament, the last in 2015, plus 3 lost finals, the last in 1994 in Athens against Milan. In addition to the quality of the rose, therefore, the history and habit of certain challenges also hang on the side of team. Lyon, for its part, knows that they will face this match with a certain optimism, given that, despite the difference in technical values, a draw with goals would qualify them to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The French are the third point of the Ligue 1, where they have 50 points in the standings, and they come, in particular, from the away draw against Strasbourg. On the Champions League level,we are talking about a club that, in the Champions League, has reached semi final in 2009-2010 as its maximum goal. Lyon are not the favor of this match , but they should not be underestimated either, given that, in the Champions League group stage of this year, they obtained 4 points out of 6 against Manchester City, one of the favorite teams in the tournament. 1 + OVER 1.5
BAYERN MUNICH-LIVERPOOL:
The Germans are in clear review after a decidedly disappointing first part of the season; Bayern, in this Champions League, won the undefeated E group, with 14 points in six matches but a group that was anything but impossible, with Ajax, Benfica and AEK Athens. In the Bundesliga, on the other hand, after a long comeback, the team returned to first place, paired with Borussia Dortmund, and has returned from five consecutive victories; Kovac, therefore, seems to have found the key and now the goal is definitely the shift, taking advantage of the field factor. Liverpool, on the other hand, in the Champions League, appears to be less powerful than the lineup capable of reaching the final in the last edition; the Reds, in fact, in the group stage have centered the qualification only on the last round in group C, with PSG and Naples. Klopp's men won just nine points and lost all three outside matches, against the French, the Neapolitans and the Red Star. An unknown external fragility, at least in Europe; in the Premier League, on the other hand, the team is second with 73 points, one points less than Manchester City with the comeback suffered in the last few weeks, thanks to some empty passage by Salah and his companions. YES : BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
