Prediction: Brondby 0-3 Lyon
Brondby is in good form with 4 wins from their last 5 matches and hope to use that confidence in this clash.
However, Lyon are aiming to arrest their inconsistent run and continue their good UEL form.
We expect Lyon to win this one comfortably as they have more quality in their ranks and are in comfortable space at the top of the table.
Players to watch out for: Riveros, Hedlund, Ekambi and Aouar.
