The second match of 2009/10 UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg will be held at Allianz Arena tonight, where the four-time European champion Bayern Munich are going to face Olympique Lyon. Once again, just same as Barcelona, Lyon need to travel 855km to Munich by buses due to the ash clouds disruption from Icelandic volcano eruption that cause a big halt to European flight industry. Probably this may bring advantage to Bayern whom play at home.

Lyon so far recorded 6 wins 2 draws 2 loses with only 6 goals conceded in UCL this term, it’s the best among this season’s last four. Meanwhile Bayern are the worst among the last four by earned 5 wins 1 draw 4 loses and conceded 13 goals so far this term. Anyhow, Bayern are leading Lyon with 3 wins 2 draws 2 loses in head-to-head records. However, Lyon have a better experiences in last 7 UCL encounters with German sides by recorded 5 wins 1 draw 1 lose, including the 1-1 draw at away and 2-3 lost at home to Bayern in last season’s UCL group stage. Bayern on the other hand had won just once in last 8 UCL duels with French sides, that’s last season’s away win at Lyon. Somemore, the German giant lost both rounds to another French side, Bordeaux earlier in group stage this term. Asian handicap’s odd for this match is Bayern let 0.5/1 goal. Seem like the bookies have faith on the German side, just same as I do. I think the long travelling may tire the French side, Barca last night will be a good example. Where’s my money put tonight? On Bayern Munich!
