Lyon vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips

Recent Results

Bayern has been on an incredible streak since Hansi Flick became their manager. The team has yet to lose an official match in 2020 and they have only conceded two points in a match against Leipzig in February. Besides that draw, they have won all of their matches and dominated the competition in the Bundesliga, Champions League, and DFB Pokal.

Munich won both Champions League matches in Lisbon against Chelsea and FC Barcelona and they have scored a combined 12 goals in two matches in the Round of 16 and their quarterfinal match. The team is certainly in outstanding shape and highly favored to beat Lyon in the upcoming semifinal match.

Munich’s opponents however have come up with pretty mixed results since the Ligue was stopped in March. The team played only in friendly matches against European teams since June and played just three official matches since March. They lost against PSG in the Coupe de La League final, lost against Juventus Turin but won the highly important semifinal match against Man City.

Lyon vs Bayern Munich Head-to-Head

Thus far, there have been eight matches between these two teams. Bayern Munich won four times against Lyon, Lyon beat Bayern three times, and there were three draws. The last time these two teams went head-to-head though was more than ten years ago. Regardless, Bayern won the last three matches against the French side.

Lyon vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips

Even though Lyon was able to keep up and even beat Man City in the quarterfinal, it is unlikely that Bayern will be afraid of playing as offensive as they did against Barcelona. The team simply outclassed Barcelona and permanently kept pressuring their opponents. Even after the break they didn’t rest and kept causing problems for the Catalan side.

Their main players scored against Barcelona and if they keep the intensity high against Lyon, it will be basically impossible for the French side to keep up with the Bavarian quality. Therefore I expect Munich to win the game without conceding a goal. Both teams to score: no is currently 12/11 with Betfair which seems like the most valuable bet for this match.
