St. Polten W team overview
St. Pölten have shown solid domestic form, maintaining their strong position in Austria’s Frauen-Bundesliga. A recent 6-0 thrashing of FC Südburgenland marked their second consecutive league win, during which they have scored 10 goals across those two matches. They have posted impressive records in both attack and defence domestically, netting 22 goals and conceding just 4. However, their individual player quality and overall team pedigree have been exposed when facing superior opposition in Europe - as evidenced by their 6-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in the opening UEFA Women’s Champions League group game.
In terms of squad, there is less public data on major injuries or absences.

Prediction
Based on the key statistical metrics, Lyonnes are strong favourites to win this match and win it by a couple of goals. Their attacking efficiency, low goals-conceded rate, and head-to-head dominance provide them with a clear edge. Pölten are unlikely to dominate possession, but may pose threats via set pieces or counter-attacks.
A realistic prediction is OL Lyonnes 3-0 SKN St. Pölten.
Three reasons we expect BTTS - NO
- OL Lyonnes have won 12 matches in succession across all competitions.
- They have scored over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches in all competitions.
- St. Pölten conceded 6 goals in the opening UCL 2025/26 season match against Atletico Madrid.
