Lyon are in a rough patch at the moment but will be boosted by the return of star player Alexandre Lacazette.

They need the France international to fire as soon as possible after losing three of their last four matches in all competitions.

They have got on the scoresheet in all 15 home matches since moving into their new stadium and won 12 of those fixtures.

Juventus, meanwhile, have won their last five matches coming into this fixture although they were made to work hard at the weekend to maintain their five point lead over Roma. Naija and Bet

The Serie A champions have won three of their last four against French sides and should be confident of overcoming a Lyon side short on confidence and form.

Real Madrid returned to winning ways at the weekend following a run of four successive draws. Los Blancos are level on points with Borussia Dortmund and should be confident of back-to-back competitive wins.

Polish outfit Legia Warszawa have lost their two Champions League games, conceding eight goals in the process. They look out of depth in the Champions League and come into this tie as huge underdogs.

This should be a comfortable win for Real Madrid.

Liverpool have been in tremendous form going forward this season, but the potential loss of Adam Lallana and Georginio Wijnaldum could change the complexion of this fixture.

Manchester United aren’t quite clicking under Jose Mourinho but they cannot afford to drop any more points, as they start a gruelling nine-day period that presents fixtures against Liverpool, Fenerbahce, Chelsea and Manchester City.

United have won each of the last four league matches against Liverpool, but they will need to make significant improvements on Monday in order to continue that streak. Naijabet.com
