Very interesting clash in prospect here with Champions League group stage new boys Debrecen taking on Lyon who have a proven experience at the highest level.

The fact this is Debrecen’s first home game at Group stage level is fascinating & should ensure a good atmosphere within the ground on the night & that could well help to make this a very entertaining game.

Debrecen were widely expected to get thrashed by Liverpool at Anfield in their 1st game but that did not happen because Debrecen played with a good level of confidence & they certainly believed they could play at this level.

Debrecen do not appear to possess any players of outstanding quality, but what they did do very well was to maintain high energy levels throughout the game which made it hard for Liverpool & we expect them to try the same approach against Lyon.

Lyon have been very consistent at this level in recent years & will again strongly fancy their own chances of qualifying from this group so this is a very important game to them.

Lyon were held 1-1 at home by Fiorentina in the first leg & that increases the importance of getting good results away & they will target this game against Debrecen as entirely achievable 3 points.

We do expect Debrecen to have a real go in this game in front of their own fans in what is probably their biggest game for sometime so that should set the game up to be very entertaining given Lyon’s preference for positive, attacking football.

Lyon have a definite edge in terms of class & quality within their squad with the likes of Gomis, Jeremy Toulalan & Lisandro capable of moments of brilliance & we feel that Lyon look a very fair price & solid bet to get the away win here.
