Prediction
Both teams have started their season very well, as Lyonnes W won all four games, and Chelsea W won six out of seven games. However, there was still a massive difference in how these teams looked in those wins. Lyonnes W were magnificent, scoring 30 goals in those four games, while most of Chelsea's games were close.
Also, the biggest difference was in the Women's Champions League. Lyonnes W were the favorites against Servette Geneve FC W and delivered by winning 8:0. On the other hand, Chelsea W were similar favorites against Austria Vienna W but won only 1:0. In that match, they allowed more than enough chances for the opposing team to secure a point.
While both teams started the season well, we believe Lyonnes W are the better squad and should secure a comfortable home win over Chelsea W.
3 Reasons why Lyonnes W should win and cover the -1 AH spread
- Lyonnes W won each of their four games this season by a 6+ goal difference
- Chelsea W underperformed in the first Women's Champions League, winning only 1:0 against Austria Vienna W
- Lyonnes W won their first Women's Champions League game against Servette Geneva FC W 8:0
