- Venue: Groupama Stadium
OL Lyonnes welcome Inter Milan on Wednesday evening for a UEFA Women's Champions League league-phase encounter between two ambitious sides. The French hosts are among the most decorated clubs in European women's football, while Inter are looking to establish themselves at this level after making their first appearance in the competition's league phase.
OL Lyonnais team overview
OL Lyonnes arrive in excellent form. Their most recent competitive outing was a 4-0 away victory against Paris Saint-Germain, following a 5-0 home win over Marseille. They have therefore scored nine goals without conceding in their last two domestic matches.
Their Champions League numbers are equally impressive. OL have scored eight goals and conceded none across their opening two league-phase fixtures, as well as registered two clean sheets.
The attacking options available to Jonatan Giráldez remain formidable. Marie-Antoinette Katoto has scored three Champions League goals this season, while Melchie Dumornay has added two.
No major injury absence is highlighted in UEFA's latest official squad information, although the final XI and matchday availability remain subject to confirmation.

Inter Milan team overview
Inter have also made a strong start to the campaign. They defeated Häcken 1-0 in their opening league-phase match before drawing 1-1 away to Austria Wien. They subsequently maintained their unbeaten domestic start, beating Parma 3-0 before drawing 0-0 at Napoli last weekend.
The Nerazzurri have conceded only once in their first two Champions League matches and have now gone four consecutive Serie A matches without conceding. Their 10-point domestic tally demonstrates that David Sassarini's side are defensively well organised, although the challenge in Lyon represents a substantial increase in difficulty.
UEFA's squad list contains no prominent confirmed injury absences, with Elisa Polli, Haley Bugeja and Michela Cambiaghi among the attacking options available.

Prediction
OL Lyonnes should have too much attacking quality and European experience for Inter, particularly at home. The French side have been exceptionally difficult to beat in this competition, remaining unbeaten in their last 25 group-stage or league-phase matches. Inter's defensive form could keep the scoreline respectable, making the under 3.5 goals line a potential betting angle, but OL's greater individual quality should eventually prevail.
Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals.
Three reasons we expect Under 3.5 Goals
- OL Lyonnes have been defensively excellent in Europe: They have conceded zero goals in their opening two Champions League matches, keeping two clean sheets while allowing only three shots on target.
- Inter have also been involved in relatively controlled European matches. Their first two league-phase fixtures ended 1-0 and 1-1.
- Inter have prevented their opponents from scoring in three consecutive matches across all competitions, so Lyonnais may find this matchup a little more difficult than usual.
