Team News
Lyon
Real Madrid
- Lisandro Lopez is likely to still be missing so Bafe Gomis will lead the line on his own once again, though he is without a goal in 3 matches and will have a tough task changing that against an organised Mourinho side.
- The main news for Lyon is that they will be without Michel Bastos due to a hamstring injury.
- Jose Mourinho has a few injury worries in his squad, namely Albiol, Carvalho and Sahin, who will all miss out.
- As always, the Real manager will have selection dilemmas purely down to the embarrassment of riches in his ranks. Kaka is a doubt so it is likely Angel di Maria will start, whilst the in-form Gonzalo Higuain may lose out up front to Karim Benzema, who could face his old club.
- Alvaro Arbeloa faces a race to be fit, but Raphael Varane could come in for him, with Sergio Ramos moving to right-back.
Think Lyon will definitely improve at home but saying that they'll probably still lose. Narrow 2-1 defeat maybe...
Should be an easy win.
another 4-0 maybe. lyon aren't looking good at the moment and real definitely are!
