Olympique Lyonnais need to beat Dinamo Zagreb to have any hopes of progressing to the last 16 of the Champions League and they can do their bit on Wednesday night.

A win over Dinamo Zagreb will not be enough to ensure that Lyon take their place in the last 16 of the Champions League as Remi Garde's side must also hope that Real Madrid beat Ajax in Amsterdam. That seems fairly plausible and so three points and a decent number of goals scored could still see the French side sneak into the knockout stages.

In total Lyon need a seven goal swing between themselves and the Dutch side, which looks implausible, but there is still hope. Dinamo Zagreb were beaten 4-0 by Ajax and 6-2 by Real Madrid in their last two matches and a win by four goals by Les Gones isn't impossible. It is 7/8 at Unibet that they simply claim victory in Zagreb and 31/5 at bet365 that Lyon win by at least three. The former looks a formality and the latter looks very over-priced.

Dinamo won't be pushovers but they aren't good enough for the Champions League, as no points and just two goals in five matches illustrates. They are 7/2 at Paddy Power to win on Wednesday but they have done nothing so far to suggest that they can be backed at that price and even a draw, at odds of 11/4 at totesport, is probably beyond them.

Ultimately, it will come down to Lyon's ambition. If they can play to their full potential then they can claim the big win that they need to qualify for the next round (17/2, Bet Victor) but their fate is certainly not in their own hands.

Recommendation

Win Market - Lyon (7/8, Unibet)
Asian Handicap (-2.5 Goals) - Lyon (31/5, bet365)
