- Date: Wednesday, 10th December 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Leigh Sports Village (Leigh)
With only two rounds left in the Champions League, Manchester United and Lyon have very good chances of a place in the quarterfinal, but in reality, the loser of the upcoming clash will likely have to play in the 1/8 final phase. Can Lyon win on Wednesday night against struggling lately Manchester United? Let's find the best betting option.
Manchester United W team overview
After a few unsuccessful attempts, Manchester United were founded in 2018. Since then, the club established themself in the Women's Super League. However, the only major trophy for the club in their short history was the FA Cup in the 2023/24 season.
In the current campaign, Manchester United are third in the English WSL with seven points fewer than the league leader, Manchester City. The Red Devils are playing well in the Champions League, too, where they have collected nine points after three rounds and are only one point behind the top of the standings.
Manchester United's form started to slow down in recent weeks, as they lost three of their last five matches. In the most recent outing, Manchester United won 2-1 at home against West Ham. The home side ended with xG of 2.65, while the guests had only 0.58, so anything other than Manchester United's victory would be completely unfair.
Manchester United is showing progression under the manager Marc Skinner, but after a victory against West Ham over the weekend, the head coach demanded that the board be active in the upcoming transfer window. He said that the squad needs reinforcements in all areas to compete with the best teams.

Lyon W team overview
Lyon is the most successful women's football team. They have 18 domestic league titles in France and eight Champions League trophies. They are excellent in the current campaign, too. In the French national league, Lyon won all nine matches and are three points ahead of PSG, while in the Champions League, Jonatan Giraldez's team collected ten points after four rounds.
Lyon have 12 wins and one draw in 13 matches across all competitions this season. In the previous game, they won 3-0 on the road against Dijon. The guests ended with 74% ball possession and 16 shots on the goal, more than the opponent, so it is no wonder they secured another easy victory.
Lyon's attack is a big reason why they are so successful this season. Giraldez's team scored an outstanding 19 goals in the previous five games, and Manchester United will have big problems preventing Lyon from scoring in the upcoming clash.
