At AOK Stadion, Wolfsburg Women will play Lyon Women in a crucial Women’s Champions League match on October 17 at 21.00. Wolfsburg is looking to get back on track after a close loss to Roma, while Lyon is looking to keep their European dominance after a 3-0 win over Galatasaray.
Wolfsburg, despite a 1-0 loss to Roma in their first group game, managed to secure a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the league. Their impressive 12-0 win over Fiorentina set the stage for the main game. However, Lyon, under the leadership of new boss Joe Montemurro, has been on a remarkable winning streak, triumphing in all five games this season and scoring at least three goals in each.
Wolfsburg recently won a league game, and Vivien Endemann and Lineth Beerensteyn scored goals. Lyon’s Kadidiatou Diani has scored five goals in her last five games in a professional setting.
Wolfsburg does not have Diana Nemeth, Camilla Kuver, Caitlin Dijkstra, or Kristin Demann out. Selma Bacha of Lyon is still hurt.
Lyon has won the last three games against Wolfsburg, a significant feat considering their competitive history. In the 2019–20 Women’s Champions League final, Lyon beat Wolfsburg 3–1, further solidifying their dominance over the German side.
Based on Lyon’s great play, head-to-head record, and Wolfsburg’s recent problems, it seems likely that Olympique Lyon will win.
