Juventus vs Lyon Preview
Juventus have Marko Pjaca, Paulo Dybala and Giorgio Chiellini out injured. Mario Lemina’s red card in the reverse fixture means he is suspended. Claudio Marchisio is nearing full fitness and could return while Dani Alves should come back in having been rested in the 2-1 win over Napoli at the weekend. Stephan Lichtsteiner is ineligible.
Lyon are still missing both Christophe Jallet and Mathieu Valbuena through injury. Rafael was given his marching orders in the 1-2 away win over Toulouse and is expected to start here, as he will miss the next domestic fixture. A number of players were rested for that match and should come back in here, with Alexandre Lacazette hoping to improve on recent displays up-front.

Juventus vs Lyon Prediction
The Old Lady didn’t follow up their win in Lyon and slipped to a rare 1-0 defeat away to Milan. It’s been business as usual in Serie A since that though, with a 4-1 victory over Sampdoria followed by success against Napoli at the weekend.
Lyon are off the pace in Ligue 1 and look to be playing for a Europa league berth in this pool. Following their loss to Juve, they slipped to a third successive defeat when losing 1-3 at home to Guingamp. The fringe players took their chances to win away at Toulouse but Lyon’s overall form is not good heading into this game.
Juventus had Gianluigi Buffon to thank for his superb performance between the sticks the last time these sides met and he’ll be given world-class protection by a solid back 3 here. Many of Lyon’s chances came once Juve had a man sent off and with a full quota they should get the job done with minimal fuss.
