- Venue: AOK Stadion
VfL Wolfsburg W will be looking to register a fifth successive win at the AOK Stadion on Thursday evening when they host Lyon W in the Champions League.
The hosts failed to qualify for the 2023-24 Champions League after losing to Paris FC in the second qualifying round, but they look ready for the competition this season. Tommy Stroot's side thrashed Fiorentina 12-0 on aggregate in the second qualifying round and will go into Thursday's game off the back of a 2-0 win over Bayern in the Women's Bundesliga.
Lyon W meanwhile enjoyed a memorable campaign in Europe and in Division 1 last season. Les Lyonnaises made it all the way to the Champions League final before losing 2-0 to Barcelona in Bilbao and also won the French Women's top flight. They have continued that form this term, winning all eight of their games in all competitions and head coach Joe Montemurro will be looking to extend that run on Thursday.
VfL Wolfsburg W vs Lyon W Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Wolfsburg opened their Women’s Nations League campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Roma but you can’t write the She-wolves off when it comes to scoring goals at home. In fact, they scored at least twice in all their competitive home encounters this season. At least three goals were seen in all but one of those fixtures.
Lyon Women also have very good attack line. The visitors have scored at least three goals in each of their last seven encounters and bets on over 2.5 goals were won in as many games.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
