Lyon v Liverpool : Champions League Betting

Liverpool are playing for Champions League existence tonight at Lyon’s Stade de Gerland. Rafa Benitez’s team are on their knees and are a poor shadow of the team that played other teams off the park last season. Liverpool quite frankly are a team in crisis. They have lost 6 of their last 7 games (the 2-0 home win against Man U being Liverpool’s only crumb of comfort.) Fact is, anything apart from a win against Lyon will see their Champions League dream become an impossible task.

With both Gerrard and Torres injured, Liverpool m,ust look elsewhere within the team for players to win matches and that seems the sticking point, because no-one looks likely at the moment to step into their boots and deliver the performances that win matches.

The critics are obviously out for Rafa – you can get 6-1 of Rafa being given the sack from Skybet – given the spate of bad results recently. However, all teams go through sticky patches in a season, it’s just that Liverpool are going through their’s when qualification for the Champions League group stages is at its most important.

Lyon are not without their worries either. Manager, Claude Puel, will be without three of his best defenders, Jean Alain Boumsong, Mathieu Bodmer and Cleber Anderson. There has also been a high profile bust-up between the manager and the club captain, Sidney Govou, after the player was photographed falling out a nightclub two days before an important Ligue 1 fixture with St Etienne.
