Arsenal Women vs Lyon Women

Arsenal begin their UEFA Women's Champions League title defence with a home clash against former winners Lyon.

The hosts have stumbled slightly lately but remain solid at home, while the visitors are unbeaten, enjoying a fine campaign. Both teams often impress going forward and could be set to serve up goals here.

Arsenal Women News

Arsenal warmed up for the clash with a disappointing 3-2 defeat at Manchester City in a WSL clash last weekend. They came from behind twice to level through Mariona Caldentey and Chloe Kelly, but went on to concede a late winner.

That result extends Arsenal’s recent struggles as they are now winless in their last three matches. However, the good news is that it was only their first defeat across all competitions, while Renee Slegers’ team are also unbeaten in their last two home matches.

Arsenal have no issues going forward and opened the scoring in their last home game. Three of their last five matches have produced over 3.5 goals, while their 4-1 home win over London City Lionesses served up over 1.5 goals in the first half.

Lyon Women News

Lyon travel to Meadow Park off the back of an 8-1 victory at Lens in a French Premiere Ligue Women clash last weekend. Vicki Becho netted a hat-trick while Daelle Melchie Dumornay grabbed a brace.

That result highlights Lyon’s fine start to the season as they are maintaining a 100% record so far. They have also earned several one-sided results, with a 6-1 home victory over Lyon preceding the win at Lens.

Lyon are often sharp going forward and their last two matches have produced over 1.5 first-half goals. Three of the last four fixtures for Jonatan Giraldez's team have served up over 3.5 goals.

Head to Head

Lyon have four wins while Arsenal have picked up two victories in six previous matches. Both teams won away from home last season, with the French side earning a 2-1 victory in London, while the English side triumphed 4-1 in the second leg to progress to the final.

Verdict

Arsenal (W) v Lyon (W)

Arsenal and Lyon often look sharp going forward and are expected to serve up goals here. The hosts scored first in their previous home match and could be set for a repeat here.

Three of Lyon’s last four matches have produced over 3.5 goals, with the last two fixtures also serving up over 1.5 first-half goals. Given the quality in both attacks, a similar pattern could be on the cards on Tuesday.
