Barcelona at Lyon 2/19/19 - Champions League Picks & Predictions

Two teams that met in this very stage back in the 2008/09 season will meet again exactly ten years later, when Lyon will clash against Barcelona on Tuesday. These are also the only two teams to have gone through the group stage undefeated. This is going to be a really tricky match for both sides.

Lyon made a terrific run in the group stage, going undefeated but drawing five of their six matches. That includes all three home matches, that were 2-2 draws. Lyon are not new to this stage, this is their 10th effort in the round of 16 (W4 L6) but have lost five of their last six. Lyon have been quite mediocre in two-legged European ties against Spanish clubs with a W3 L3 record. Barcelona are in this stage for the 15th consecutive season and have progressed from this stage 12 times. However, they are without a win in their last five away knock-out ties. Barca have been pretty mediocre in their European away matches lately, winning just seven of their last 19 (7-6-6). However, they have been slightly better when facing French sides (W4 L3) in two-legged ties.
