In-form Lacazette can punish Caen
Lyon v Caen
Ligue 1
BT Sport 1, 7.45pm
Lyon scored eight times in their two clashes with Caen last season and more goals are expected again tonight. Lyon’s star man Alexandre Lacazette bagged a hat-trick last weekend and he may well add to his tally against a Caen side who haven’t kept a clean sheet on the road for 15 games. Caen shipped 52 goals last term and Lyon should prove too strong.
Recommendation
Lyon to win & over 2.5 goals
2pts 6-5 Paddy Power
Key stat
The last five meetings between these sides have featured three or more goals
Carl Zeiss Jena v Bayern Munich
German Cup
BT Sport 3, 7.45pm
Fourth-tier Carl Zeiss Jena host holders Bayern Munich in the toughest possible first-round Pokal tie. Bayern have faced similar opposition at this stage in the past two seasons, conceding in wins over Preussen Munster and Nottingen. Carl Zeiss Jena caused a shock by knocking out Hamburg last season and they are fancied to get on the scoresheet against a rotated Bayern.
Recommendation
Bayern to win and both teams to score
1pt 19-10 Betfair
Key stat
Bayern have lost only one DFB-Pokal match in the last four years
