- Competition: Women’s Champions League
- Date: 26th March 2025
- Kick-off: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Parc Olympique Lyonnais
A huge Women’s Champions League encounter awaits us on Wednesday night when Lyon and Bayern Munich meet in the second leg of the quarter finals.
Lyon hold the advantage after a comfortable 2-0 win in away in Germany, but Bayern Munich responded last weekend with a 3:2 win in the DFB Pokal Semi-final win against Hoffenheim.
Since being knocked out of the Coupe de France by Reims W in the round of 32 in the second week of January, Lyon W have been in exceptional form. Les Lyonnaises have won each of their last seven matches while scoring at least four goals in five of those games.
Bayern Munich Women's only defeat in their last eight came in the first leg, but the Reds have not been at the level of their hosts. Alexander Straus’ women had to come from two goals down to beat Hoffenheim in the DFB-Pokal last time out and have kept just two clean sheets in their last seven matches.
Lyon W vs Bayern Munich W Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The first leg ended with just two goals scored, but Lyon W and Bayern Munich W have a history of producing entertaining encounters in France. Each of the last three meetings on French soil produced three or more goals and I expect Wednesday's game to be similar.
Les Lyonnaises have also shown in recent weeks that they can break down any defence, especially at home where they won their last two competitive matches by 15-1.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Lyon W vs Bayern Munich W prediction: 3-1

Bayern Munich W team news
Bayern Munich will continue to rely on the services of Pernille Harder who has six goals in seven Women’s Champions League encounters this season.
The 32-year-old is expected to be joined in the final third by Lea Schüller, but Jovana Damnjanović and Alara Şehitler are options.
