Barcelona vs Lyon Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Barcelona welcome Lyon to Camp Nou on Wednesday for the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.

Ernesto Valverde's men dominated the first meeting at the Groupama Stadium three weeks ago yet failed to find the back of the net in a goalless draw, which will have left the Ligue 1 side with some hope ahead of their visit to Catalonia.

The Blaugrana come into the game following a 3-1 weekend win in La Liga at home to Rayo Vallecano, while Lyon rested a number of players in their 2-2 draw at Strasbourg.

Latest odds

SportPesa offer Barca at 4/17 (1.24) to win in 90 minutes and the Catalans have not lost a home game in the Champions League since 2013. Lyon for their part can be backed 21/2 (11.50) to win and at 7/2 (4.50) to qualify.

Any score draw would see the French side through and a stalemate is offered at 23/4 (6.75).

Team news

Barca's main injury concern is Ousame Dembele, who picked up a knock in Saturday's league game and remains a doubt for Wednesday's clash.

Lyon meanwhile have forward Nabil Fekir back after missing the first leg, and no real injury issues.

Preview

Barcelona managed twenty-five shots in the first game yet failed to find the back of the net. We can readily expect the Spanish champions to improve the finishing at the Camp Nou where they have scored in 31 consecutive games.

Lyon, however, have shown themselves this term to be capable of competing in big games and are unbeaten in their seven Champions League matches.

Bruno Genesio's side won away to Manchester City before drawing at home to the Premier League leaders, while in Ligue 1 they beat PSG last month as well as winning their fierce derby with Saint-Etienne.

A win for the visitors at the Camp Nou looks unlikely, yet they can at least avoid a heavy defeat.

Tips and predictions

Lyon are offered at 20/27 (1.74) to win with a +2 Asian handicap and that looks like a strong option. This bet pays out if Lyon win, draw or lose by one, while our stake is refunded is if they lose by two goals.
