A late penalty in the 77th minute gave Lyon a very advantageous starting point for this match as it secured them a 3-1 home win in a very entertaining game. The penalty decision was arguably doubtful as a shot hit the arm of a sliding Chalme who only had his arm there to keep his balance. Never the less this leaves Bordeaux forced to come out attacking from the first whistle and we could be in for another high scoring game.

Home game record: Champions League 4-0-0

Bordeaux is looking to extent their perfect home game record in this years Champions league where they have defeated such strong opposition as Bayern Mûnich and Juventus earlier in the tournament. In a first game that saw Chamakh score Bordeaux’s goal, they should have gotten a better result as they had plenty of opportunities in the game. Only great play from Lyon keeper Lloris kept Chamakh away from scoring more goals and all in all 3-1 is perhaps a little misleading in terms of the actual strengths of the two teams. Bordeaux go into the game on the back of three successive defeats - in addition to the Stade Gerland setback, they were beaten by the same 3-1 scoreline by Marseille in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue and lost 2-1 to Nancy in Ligue 1. Whether this was due to full focus on this game or poor form I do not know but they remain a serious contender to the French title with them being within 1 point of leading Lyon. Overall in the French League this season Bordeax is 10-3-3 and combined with their Champions League stats, there is no doubt that they are good at home.

Away game record: Champions League 2-1-1

Claude Puel's men go to the Stade Chaban-Delmas with a 3-1 lead from the first leg, and with a semi-final against either Manchester United or Bayern Munich looking a strong possibility. They also find confidence in the fact that they have the best away game record in the French league with 7-6-3. In the Champions league they recorded an impressive 1-1 at Santiago Bernabeu to eliminate Real Madrid. This weekend they defeated Rennes away 2-1 so it wil be a Lyon team reeking of confidence that goes into this match. However coach Puel is trying to down talk their role as favourites as he knows that it isn’t over yet. Lyon will have some players missing for this game where especially Lisandro Lopez will be missed.

Conclusion
The result from the first game was, in my mind, a little misleading as I feel Bordeaux deserved better. I perceive Lyon as slight favourites to progress overall but there is no reason that Bordeaux can not win this game. With Chamakh in excellent form and hungry for revenge I recommend betting on Bordeaux to win the match. Whether or not it will be enough to move forward is another thing but I will settle for a one goal win for this bet to go through.
