15.00Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, bookmakers offer almost equal odds for the winner. It is still worth betting on the visitors on this line. Hoffenheim is having a weak season, the players and coaching staff are more concerned about the state of affairs in the Bundesliga. The home field factor does not help much either, one could see the defeat in the last game from St. Pauli. Lyon does not have such problems, recently the team allowed itself only one misfire, when it lost to Besiktas, and in general, it acts more reliably in defense than the upcoming opponent.
Our prediction is a Lyon victory with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.85
Bet on total
Hoffenheim is undoubtedly a fairly open team that relies on attack in its game. However, we have not seen this German team play very bright football on a regular basis lately. Thus, in the four previous matches there were no more than three goals, it is unlikely that we should expect high scoring today.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.67
Bet on the first half
Lyon have been successful in the opening stages of matches and have lost in the first half only once in their previous five matches. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction - Lyon will not lose in the first half with odds of 1.38
