Roma Women vs Lyon Women Prediction 13.11.2024 | Women's Champions League

• Competition: Women's Champions League
• Date: Wednesday, 13th, November 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21.00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Tre Fontane (Rome)

The Stadio Tre Fontane will host an exciting clash as two teams with perfect starts face off, with AS Roma Women taking on Olympique Lyon Women in matchday three of the Women's Champions League.

A solitary strime from Giada Greggi in the 9th minute proved sufficient for AS Roma Women to knock down a strong Fiorentina side and add a valuable three points to their tally, bringing them level on points with third-placed Inter in the top division. The high-spirited La Giallorosse now turn their focus to the international stage, aiming to build on their electrifying campaign start after stunning Wolfsburg (W) 1-0 in their opener and then dismantling Galatasaray (W) 6-1 in their most recent outing.

Meanwhile, Olympique Lyonnais Ladies sent a fear-inducing message to their midweek rivals by running rampant against a hapless Guingamp Women's team, registering an incredible 8-0 win to stay a point clear of their nearest title-chasers PSG W in France's women's top flight. Motivated by their stellar start to the 2024-25 campaign, the record-breaking Women's Champions League winners Les Fenottes are aiming to take full control of Group A, where they are currently tied on points with the Italian side.

Roma Women vs Lyon Women Betting Tips: UNDER 3.5

With eight European titles under their belt, Lyon Ladies come into the match as clear favorites, but Roma Women will be eager to take to the field with no fear and a resolve to complicate matters for the French team. With relentless resistance and tremendous support from the stands, Le Giallorosse will give everything they have to disrupt Lyon's lethal attack, and we believe they will largely succeed in doing so, which could ultimately lead to a rather uneventful contest. 

Even though they stormed to a devastating 6-1 success over Galatasaray (W) in matchday two, it's hard to imagine Spugna's ladies repeating a similar attacking performance, as they go up against a granite Les Fenottes defense, who can proudly claim eight shutouts in nine competitive matches this season, including both in the Women's Champions League. Aside from their eight-goal destruction of Guingamp (W) over the weekend, it's clear that Montemurro's ladies have struggled to highlight their attack against tougher opponents, not scoring more than two goals in three of their last four contests. Taking all factors into account, we believe that the Roma women will adopt a resilient defensive stance and slow down the pace of the record winners of the competition, but Lyon Women are likely to prevail in a closely contested match.
