Lyon Women vs St Polten Women

Lyon are looking to build on a solid match-day one victory when they host St Polten in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League.

The French giants have looked almost unstoppable lately, with a string of one-sided victories this season. They should be too strong for the visitors, who suffered a heavy home defeat in their opening fixture.

Lyon Women News

Lyon earned a 2-1 victory at defending champions Arsenal in their opening League phase fixture. They fell behind early in the contest but fought back before the break, with a brace from Daelle Melchie Dumornay earning them the win.

That result maintains a solid start to the season for Lyon, who have won all their matches across all competitions so far. Jonatan Giraldez's team claimed a 6-1 Premiere Ligue Women victory over PSG in their previous home fixture.

The goals often flow freely for Lyon, who have scored over 1.5 first-half goals in their last two matches. However, nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions have produced under 7.5 goals.

St Polten Women News

St Polten were disappointing in their opening fixture in the league phase as they fell to a 6-0 home defeat to Atletico Madrid. Lisa Alzner’s team were no match for the quality of the Spaniards and could only muster one attempt on target throughout the contest.

The Austrians have been erratic lately, with just two wins from their last five matches across all competitions. However, they will head to France with some confidence, having claimed a 6-0 home victory over Sudburgenland in a domestic fixture last weekend.

St Polten adopt an open style of play, which often makes for high-scoring encounters. However, their last five matches across all competitions have produced under 7.5 goals.

Head to Head

Lyon are the superior side in this fixture and did the double against St Polten during the 2023-24 Champions League. The French side claimed a 2-0 home victory in the first clash before easing to a 7-0 away win in the second meeting.

Verdict

OL Lyonnes (W) v SKN St Polten (W)

Lyon often impress going forward and having scored over 1.5 first-half goals in their last two matches, a repeat could be on the cards. Nine of the home team's last 10 matches have produced under 7.5 goals, and a similar outcome could be considered.

The French side have had a smooth ride so far this season and given their fine record in this fixture, will be full of confidence. Having led by three goals at the break in their last meeting with St Polten, the hosts could be backed in the first half handicap market.
