Premier League is better than Ligue 1: No. 2 and 5 on UEFA’s rankings. And City is much bigger than Lyon. Approximate values: 950 and 305 million euros.
City was superb in PL in 17/18: 100 points and goal score 106-27. In addition, the quarter final in CL. Lyon became No. 3 in L1 and smoked in the CL group game.
Citizens are 4-1-0 (14-3) this season and won easily 3-0 home over Fulham on Saturday. Midfielder Kompany was saved.
First goal scored by wing Sané in the 1st start of this season. He also became a father last week and works mentally better now than in the early stages.
City has a technically strong, fast-paced and whirling offensive (wider with access to Mahrez *), which often ends the resistance defensive.
Lyon is only 2-1-2 in L1, most recently 0-1 against Nice (before the international break) and Saturday betting game and 2-2 in Caen despite 11 to 10 in 35 minutes.
The heavy center defender Marcelo was on Glatis several times against fast Caen offensive people. The Backs + def midfield also proved overwhelmed.
I see especially a problem in the right defense side with Marcelo + back Raphael (not as fast as he once was; Dubois is an option but inexperienced).
The fast-paced and fast striker Dembélé got a nice debut for Lyon this weekend, and Fekir’s creator scored on a free kick. In addition, dribble strength.
The sidewalks Depay + Terrier became the starting point. I want to believe that Depay, who may also be attacking, starts in now. Class Player.
Lyon has strengthened the center defense with Denayer (ex-Man City) this season. There is a lack of automation, but there is progress.
If Lyon dare, it’s a team that is capable of pushing high. And press the ball or not; The French are contrasting.
Citizens may be vulnerable to conversions: Usually only one def midfielder, half-time Fernandinho.
The home team still have to miss midfielder De Bruyne. Skidding, physics, visions and targetability.
Damage on leftback Mendy (good presentation) missed Fulham and attacked Agûero who got a scrub Saturday.
The main absence and doubt should be mentioned above. In addition: There is a great chance that Agûero will be ready, and otherwise Jesus will also be quite good. Mendy’s likely continued absence is worse; Delph is one of the best, but does not have Mendy’s dynamics as well as boost and input skills.
