APOEL Nicosia caused a major shock by reaching the last 16 of the Champions League and Olympique Lyon, chastened by a 2-1 loss to lowly Caen at the weekend, will take nothing for granted when they host the Cypriots tonight (7.45, Setanta Ireland).

APOEL topped their group having beaten heavyweights Porto and Zenit St Petersburg. Their defensive strength could prompt another backs-to-the-wall performance at the Stade Gerland after Ivan Jovanovics side managed three away draws in the group stage.

They will be attempting to beat Lyon at home at this stage for the first time since AS Roma recorded a 2-0 win in 2007.
