Lyon Women vs Wolfsburg Women

Lyon host Wolfsburg on match-day three in the league phase of the UEFA Women's Champions League, with both teams putting their 100% records on the line.

The French side's overall form has been imperious this season, and they are usually dominant on home soil. They also boast a solid record in this fixture and are expected to get the better of the Germans.

Lyon Women Form

It has been smooth sailing for Lyon so far in the league phase, having won their opening two matches. They set things rolling with a 2-0 victory in their opening fixture before easing past St Polten 3-0 last time out.

Lyon's dominance extends beyond the Champions League as they are maintaining a 100% record across all competitions this season. They will head into Tuesday's clash off the back of a 5-1 victory at Montpellier in a domestic fixture last weekend.

Jonatan Giraldez's team often do their best work at home, with 6-1 victories over Nantes and Lyon among their recent results in front of their fans. They have led at the break in five of their last six matches across all competitions, with all five fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Wolfsburg Women Form

Wolfsburg have matched Lyon so far in the league phase, winning their opening two fixtures. Stephan Lerch’s team began with a 4-0 home victory over PSG before winning 2-1 at Valerenga last time out.

Another similarity with the French side is Wolfsburg's penchant for playing an open style. The German side's last 10 matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

However, unlike the hosts, Wolfsburg’s overall form has not been as dominant, with five wins and two defeats in their last seven matches across all competitions. One of those defeats came last weekend, a 3-2 home loss to Eintracht Frankfurt in a Bundesliga Women clash.

Head to Head

Lyon have six wins and two draws while Wolfsburg have picked up just two victories in the last 10 matches. The French side did the double in last season’s Champions League, winning 2-0 at home before a 1-0 triumph in the second meeting.

Verdict

OL Lyonnes (W) v Wolfsburg (W)

Both teams often enjoy an open style of play, and with Wolfsburg's last 10 matches across all competitions producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome is expected here. Lyon have led at the break in five of their last six matches across all competitions and could be set for a similar pattern.

Lyon often come out on top in this fixture and given their penchant for one-sided wins lately, could be set to earn a dominant result on Tuesday.
