Chelsea Women vs Lyon Women Betting Tips and Prediction. On Thursday, the second game of Chelsea and Lyon’s UEFA Champions League Women’s quarterfinal matchup will begin. (March 30). Having won the first leg of the match by a slim margin of 1-0 on the road in France last week, the Blues are in the lead in the game. In the 28th minute, Guro Reiten tallied the game-winning goal with a curling shot.
They failed to repeat their success on the international stage at home, losing 2-0 to Manchester City in a Women’s Super League matchup between the top two teams in the standings. In the first half, Lauren Hemp scored and contributed an assist to help her team beat the Blues for the first time in the league since 2017 and overtake them in the rankings.
Meanwhile, Lyon bounced back from their Champions division exit with a commanding 6-0 victory over Guingamp at home in the French division. Les Fenottes were able to secure the win thanks to a pair of goals from Signe Bruun in the first half. Danielle van de Donk added the final goal in the 81st minute.
As Chelsea stands between them and a record-extending 12th quarterfinal appearance in the Women’s Champions League, they will now focus their attention on the match at Stamford Bridge. In the final four, the victor of this match will take on either Barcelona or AS Roma.
Chelsea Women vs Lyon Women – Important Points:
The two sides will now face for the fifth time. The loss to Manchester City marked Chelsea’s first scoreless encounter in 25 WSL contests.
In each of their last ten victories, Lyon has scored at least twice. They have won their last 11 games overall. Their lone loss during this stretch occurred in the first match last week.
Chelsea has a 19-game home winning streak. In three of their four encounters with Lyon, both teams scored.
Chelsea Women vs Lyon Women – The Prediction:
This matchup has lived up to expectations despite being probably the hardest quarterfinal matchup to predict on paper. Lyon is attempting to win a record-breaking ninth continental championship, but they will have a tough time holding onto their throne.
Chelsea humiliated the French champs in front of their supporters, and they now have to come back from a one-goal deficit away from home. Since Lyon has experience with similar situations, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of a return.
However, Chelsea has competed well against Lyon each time they have met, and their 19-game home winning streak indicates they are capable of handling the challenge. Since there isn’t much to choose between the two teams, the winners of a low-scoring draw that would eliminate Lyon would split the rewards.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Lyon
