The french newspaper l'Equipe gives for the starting team :
Clerc - Cris - Abidal - Malouda
-Diarra-
-Tiago - Juninho-
-Wiltord - -Benzema-
-Carew-
Diarra, who was injuried before last match in L1, should be able to play. If not, the young Clement will play.
Carew is out of form, did not play since PSV-Lyon, so may be changed with Fred.
Abidal may plays left, with Muller in the axis. If so, Malouda'll play offensive left middlefielder, and Benzema'll be substitute.
For the PSV, i heard Vennegor Van H is not sure to play. Maybe Beasley to replace him. Farfan and Koné should play right and left wings.
I bet it'll be an harsh game. It rained a little today in lyon, but the field should be fine.
I expect a 2-1 win for Lyon, with Juni and Fred Goal, vs a Farfan goal.

No surprises here, Lyon was the better team last year as well, but PSV got through with a bit of luck.
This year Lyon has the strength to win the competition. All luck to them.

Lyon is the team i shall go for since i'm a neutral now. A quality team and they deserve it.
Yep exact same. Now a neutral, I am barracking for Lyon. Always love Juninho and his set pieces. Have a great team in general and deserve to be where they are.
What a bloody goal by Fred.

This was no surprise. I expected Lyon to give them a good beating since they really wanted revenge.

It was pretty much over in the first 25 minutes. Cocu, being the heart of the team being sent off so soon really killed us along with that first goal. That was not even PSV's best lineup, add that to playing at the Stade de Gerland and it was an impossible task.
Good job Lyon though, they were clearly the better team and will do well in the next round no matter who they end up playing.
