In their turn, Lyon W haven’t failed for more than a year, namely, since the 29th of April 2017. During this period the French ladies deserved 31 victories and only three draws in all the competitions. It’s also worth mentioning that the side is the defending champion of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, having beaten Paris SG W by the penalty shoot-out last year. The club has also won the French Division 1 Women, having earned 61 points with 98 goals for and only five goals against in 21 games played. Meanwhile, the French ladies knocked out Medyk Konin 5:0, 9:0, Shymkent W 7:0, 9:0, Barcelona W 2:1, 1:0 and broke Manchester City W 0:0, 1:0 in the semi-finals on their pace to the forthcoming final.
The upcoming fight will be the third annual head-to-head of the sides in the UEFA Women’s Champion’s League. In 2016 the French ladies celebrated 2:1 victory the penalty shoot-out in the final, last year Lyon W beat Wolfsburg W 2:0, 0:1 in the quarter-finals. At this point the visitors are considered to be favourites again, however, the German ladies look not weaker. Thus, I expect for a tense and low-scoring battle.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
