In order to secure direct qualification to the round of 16, Lyon needs a victory in this final match of the group stage. They have recorded some good wins so far, including a 3-2 victory over Eintracht in their last home game. Surprisingly, their only loss was also at home to Besiktas with a score of 0-1. Their form has declined recently, with no success in five consecutive matches in all competitions, which led the club owner to dismiss the coach just before the match against Ludogorets.
Ludogorets is the team with the fewest goals scoredLudogorets no longer has a chance to progress, as they are still without a win in their 7 matches played in the group. Despite this, they surprisingly managed to secure a goalless draw as a guest against Lazio, but they are still without a goal scored as a guest in the group. Ludogorets is actually the team with the fewest goals scored in the group stage, managing to score only three goals in their seven matches.
Prediction: Lyon to win without conceding a goalLyon has lost some form lately, but they need the victory to secure their place in the top 8. Scoring goals remains a problem for Ludogorets, so it wouldn't be surprising if that continues in this match as well.
