Lyon W are the defending cup holder of the UEFA Women's Champions League. Frenchwomen face the two-leg encounter with Germans with six-match winning streak. In France none can play on equal with Lyon W which gained 45 points with 73-6 goal difference in 16 matches and are seven points ahead of the second team in the standings. Lyon W football players knocked out Avaldsnes W 5:2, 5:0 and Zürich W 8:0, 9:0 in Eurocups. Frenchwomen have played 11 matches on the road in all competitions recorded 10 wins and one defeat with 50 goals for and only four goals against.
Wolfsburg W and Lyon W show the strongest football in Europe in four recent years. They met twice, both times in the UEFA Women's Champions League's final. Germans got 1:0 win in 2013 whereas the French took victory in 2016 on penalties 2:1. And here comes again another game where I believe the hosting side can end the winning pace of the defending champion.
Prediction for the match: Wolfsburg W to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
