Doubling up on Lyon
Sometimes a bet is just so good that you have to break your own rules to exploit it. Usually its £100 max but in the case of Lyon we are sticking another £100 on it -0.75 at 2.12. I thought the 1X2 at 1.91 was too good and it didn’t last long at all. Chris’s preview on tip ex sums up exactly why this bet should be a double one.

Lyon – Roma 1.83 – 5.20
According to unanimous reports from France, Lyon have found their best form again. Excellent football at the weekend and their sluggish January period is obviously over. They could afford to keep their dead ball specialist Juninho on the bench in the 3-1 win against St Etienne. Toulalan is missing tomorrow, with Diarra replacing the midfielder.
Mancini will play for his Roma again and they will probably be able to draw from a full strength squad tomorrow. Taddei is their only doubt.
The way I see it, Lyon ought to big bigger favourites ahead of this game. While writing this piece, the odds were 1.91, but dropping now, but I will still back the home win. (1.83)
I take it for granted that the experienced Lyon coach, Houllier, is well aware of Romas’ tremendous counter attacking capacity. The only way for Roma to defeat Lyon would be just that – Houllier ignoring this Roma specialty. Home win. (1.83)
