Lyon vs Besiktas tips and predictions

Walk in the park for Lyon?

There's 6 points separating the two clubs as second place Lyon get set to host 36th place Besiktas.

No one will be getting carried away backing the short-priced favourites although there's not a huge chance of an upset.

The hosts come into the match having won all of their last 5 games.

Lyon have scored two or more goals in all of their recent 6 matches while they've not been handing out freebies, letting in only 2 goals in their last 5 games. If they can continue to be imperious in defence they'll see this clash as an opportunity to keep another clean sheet.

There have been periods when Besiktas have lacked the fundamentals near the 18-yard line. They have conceded three or more goals in 2 of their last 5 matches. But the home side will take even more confidence due to the lack of fire-power they will face. Creating chances away from their own soil has proved to be a challenge for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in 3 of their last 4 away matches.

Lyon are the clear favourites and it's possible they just don't give up ground to Besiktas. It isn't a strong view so maybe give it a miss but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.
