Lyon have won all five of their recent competitive fixtures, displaying immense offensive power with at least five goals scored in every game during that run. While Chelsea are in formidable shape themselves with four straight wins and only one goal conceded in five matches, Lyon's home advantage and recent momentum make them well positioned to take something from this contest. Covering the home win or draw provides a solid probabilistic position in a match between two top-tier sides.
