Olympique Lyon have another tough match coming up at home. Juventus are their opponent for the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinal match. This is their third high profile encounter at home in about two weeks time. Ominously for the team, they lost both the earlier matches: first against Monaco and then against local rivals St Etienne. Juve are not likely to offer them any freebies either.

Juventus are well on course to retain the Serie A crown, despite the away defeat against Napoli last week. Having lost out on the Champions League crown, their only hope for gaining the European glory remains the Europa League. By far, they are the strongest side remaining in the league. So, the Old Lady will fancy its chances.

This is the first time these teams are meeting in a continental competition. The recent form clearly suggests a Juventus victory. Having scored just two wins from their last six matches, Lyon does not inspire much confidence. On the other hand, the last week’s defeat against Napoli was Juve’s first in 2014.

Juventus will welcome back Carlos Tevez who missed the Napoli game due to suspension. That will bolster Juventus attack that already has Fernando Llorente and Arturo Vidal.

Lyon’s big hopes for a win depend solely on a spectacular performance from their attacking duo of Alexandre Lacazette and Bafetimbi Gomis.

Lyon-Juventus Prediction

Juventus have the luxury of playing the second leg at home. They are likely to stick on with their natural counter-attacking game for this match. An away goal will be their first priority, while Lyon will look for nothing short of a win. A Juventus win is the most likely outcome, with a draw being a smart long shot.
