Rangers vs Lyon

This sports betting tip was written by mariusrec on January 19th, 2009 at 23:03

This will be the most interesting match to watch tonight as both teams have chances to pass the group stage with the help of a win tonight. The first match between the two finished with an incredible 3-0 win for Rangers in Lyon.Despite what the score indicates, my opinion is that Lyon was the better team.I believe that Rangers had a very lucky day and only with the help of luck did they manage to defeat Lyon.I'm sure that anyone that saw the match will agree with me.Plus i also have a strong argument on my side.The statistics.Let's take a look at the shots on goal.Lyon had 10 while Rangers only 3(so, 3 shots 3 goals). Here is a comparison of all the other important statistics. Shots wide : Lyon 14 Rangers 1 Corners : Lyon 14 Rangers 2 Ball. Poss. : Lyon 62% Rangers 38 % So, you can clearly see that the team that dominated the match was Lyon.That match was one of those freak matches, but those are the matches that make soccer great because it gives the little guy a chance. Anyway, today's match will be a lot different.First of all this match will not be played in Lyon and the Scottish team will be the one that has the home advantage this time.The atmosphere and tension of the match will be totally different from the first.At the time of the first match, nothing was settled and it was just Matchday 2.Now it's all in, if the french team wants to pass the group stage, they have to win. As i said before, Rangers will be the team with the home advantage but i don't see this factor an essential one.Lyon still have better players which are full of talent and react very well under pressure.Juninho, Ben Arfa or Benzema just to mention a few. Rangers know that a draw will be enough today to see them through and i believe that this will be a psychological disadvantage.The players will go out there on the field knowing that they don't have to push to score because a draw is enough.They might think that hitting on counter attack will be enough but in the end their strategy will prove to be wrong. Don't get me wrong.The couch can tell them the fact that they need to be careful ; concentrate and attack, because the best defense is attack, but the thing is that when the players enter the filed, 50 % of what the couch told them goes away.I can't see Rangers progressing here as they are not a mature enough team and Lyon has what it takes to win all 3 points. The odds for a Rangers win are quite generous so i've decided to go with AH Lyon 0 (lvl ball, draw no bet), just so i have insurance in case of a draw.I'd rate the 1.63 odd offered by Centrebet as a fair one.I've placed a medium stake.

Pick : AH Lyon 0

Odds : 1.63 @ Bet 365 - {click here for 100 % deposit bonus + FREE live TV + best live betting platform}
