Lyon vs RB Leipzig: Prediction
Prediction
Lyon 1-1 RB Leipzig
In a hotly-contested match between the two teams relatively even, you suspect that the team will not be able to convince pull ahead of the others.
Lyon will throw everything at this game, but Leipzig is a very dangerous team that no doubt will put the Ligue 1 side into some awkward positions defensively.
