By Adam Stocker
Lyon face RB Leipzig at Groupama Stadium on Tuesday, Dec. 10. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The Champions League group stage concludes with Lyon hosting RB Leipzig at Groupama Stadium. Leipzig enter the game atop the group with 10 points. Lyon and Zenit St. Petersburg are tied for second with seven points. The Red Bulls will finish at worse second in the group. Lyon could finish anywhere from first to last. If the French side beat Leipzig, they will win the group. However, if they lose and Benfica win, Lyon would finish last in the group.
Lyon’s decision to change managers and hire Rudi Garcia has saved their season. Under Garcia, the club has won five of their past seven Ligue 1 games to climb the French table, going from 17th to seventh. In the Champions League, the French club will need some help from Benfica to advance to the round of 16. Lyon lost the head to head will Zenit and will have to finish with more points to advance. Garcia will rely on their front two of Memphis Depay and Moussa Dembele on Tuesday. The duo has combined for 21 goals this season, with Depay scoring the winning goal in the previous game against Leipzig.
The Red Bulls have found their stride in the Bundesliga season, winning five straight games to sit one point behind first-place Borussia Monchengladbach. For the first time in club history, Leipzig will advance to the knockout stage of the Champions League. The Red Bulls’ strong performances this season can be attributed in part to Timo Werner. The German striker is having a career year, rewarding Leipzig for the contract extension. Werner has scored 19 goals in 21 games across all competitions.
