The 2-2 draw in the first leg keeps things exciting, but Manchester United is currently struggling. Many key players are missing, which obviously puts a lot of pressure on the English team. Lyon, although away, could benefit from the home team's absences in this situation and gain a good deal of self-confidence. It is true that Man United have won their previous meetings with Lyon at Old Trafford, but the current situation could well challenge that tradition. The Red Devils"m may have the home advantage, but their personnel constraints should not be underestimated. Lyon could therefore seize the opportunity to advance to the semifinals. After a 2-2 draw in the first leg, which was caused by two errors by goalkeeper Andre Onana, the return leg is an all-or-nothing game for the Red Devils. Lyon will go into this game with better morale after their 3-1 win against Auxerre at the weekend, making it seven wins from their last nine matches. This game should be a close affair and the final outcome ia clearly unknown and hard to predict but goals coule be expected in both nets.
