This
Champions League week offers us again a nice italian - french duel:
AC Fiorentina receives french team
Olympique Lyon in Florence's Artemio Franchi stadium (
tuesday evening at 8:45).
In the Serie A
Cesare Prandelli's boys haven't had a very fortunate sunday - in a very spectacular game they lost 2-3 against
AC Parma and are now only on the 6th place with only one point ahead of Genoa and two points of Cagliari and Napoli. Nevertheless
Gilardino & co have played a good game and they also had the occasions to achieve at least a draw.
Also Olympique Lyon has made at least half a false step in the frenche
Ligue 1: they only made a draw against Grenoble (1-1), but thanks to the contemporary defeat of Bordeaux in Valenciennes (0-1) the team of
Claude Puel is at the third place with the same amount of points as the french champions.
In the Champions League the two teams are on the first two places of their group (Lyon on the first, Fiorentina on the second place), the french team is already qualified for the next round, while Fiorentina, in the case of a defeat, would have to make at least one point in the last match in
Liverpool...
To avoid this scenario, the italians have to beat Lyon, and I think they will manage to do so with the support of their home crowd...
My tip is 1, victory for Fiorentina, the
best odd is offered by
