Lyon W have been super dominant in France, winning 18 league titles in the previous 19 seasons. They have also been one of the best teams in Europe, winning eight Champions League titles and finishing second twice. This season, "Les Fenottes" have once again been extremely dominant in France, already holding a 14-point lead over second-placed Paris FC W.

Wolfsburg W team overview
Wolfsburg W are the second-best team in Germany this year, currently 13 points away from the first-placed Bayern Munich. They had mixed results in the Women's Champions League but are doing more than an OK job in the knockout phase. Firstly, they eliminated Juventus W, and then won the first leg against Lyon W. They are generally in good form and have every reason to be optimistic, even though the bookies do not trust them to secure the next phase.
After a 3:3 draw with Union Berlin W, coach Stephan Lerch spoke to the media. He was frustrated with dropping points and said it was a poor general rehearsal ahead of the crucial Champions League clash. The coach was generally unhappy with the performance and viewed the result as a missed opportunity to secure three points.

Prediction
Lyon W are not in good momentum as they have won one point in the past two games and have scored just four goals in the previous three games. That is well below their average, and we doubt them momentarily on the offensive end, especially after failing to score in the first leg. However, at home, Lyon W have been incredible defensively, keeping a clean sheet in nine consecutive games.
Wolfsburg are in good form, but they are not a team that often plays high-scoring games. In the past nine games, they went under 3.5 goals in seven games - 78%.
Considering the result from the first leg, and all the above, an under 3.5 goals bet seems like the best possible bet for this Women's Champions League tie.
4 Reasons why we should see fewer than four goals
- Lyon W scored four goals in the past three games
- Wolfsburg W went under 3.5 goals in five of the past six games
- Lyon W went under 3.5 goals in four of the past six games
- The first leg ended with only one goal (1:0 for Wolfsburg W)
