The reigning European champions will now try to defend their title, starting with a group that includes Arsenal, Juventus, and Zurich. The team led by Sonia Bampastor has already won the Trophee des Championnes this year after defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0, and they have started the league season with five straight wins.
After winning all three of their home games in the group stage of the previous season by a collective score of 11-1, the hosts have not suffered a competitive home loss since April 2021. Lyon will be optimistic that they can get all three points on Wednesday.
Olympique Lyonnais vs Arsenal Prediction
Lyon has won the European championship eight times and is favoured to win it again.
In contrast, Arsenal, who have won European championships in the past, are hardly pushovers. Both sides will give it their all to win because they are among the best in women’s club football.
However, Lyon has more competent players who are familiar with the demands of this level of play. They should score goals at both ends to earn a slim victory.
Lyon 2-1 Arsenal is the prediction.
