THE KEY STATS
- Lyon are unbeaten in their last 31 UEFA Women’s Champions League matches (W28 D3). Their last defeat in the competition was in April 2017 vs Man. City (L 0-1 (h), SF 2nd leg)
- Lyon have won 21 of their previous 22 competitive matches this season. The only game they failed to win was a 1-0 defeat away from home in their domestic league against Paris in November
- Lyon have lost only two of their previous 22 UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final matches. They have won each of their last six matches at this stage of the competition – their last defeat was a 1-0 home defeat against Wolfsburg in 2017
- Lyon have successfully progressed through to the semi-finals from each of their previous 11 UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final ties
- Lyon have scored in 23 successive UEFA Women’s Champions League matches. The last time they failed to score in the competition was in April 2018 vs Man. City (D 0-0)
- Lyon have conceded more than one goal in only two of their last 38 UEFA Women’s Champions League matches
- Lyon have conceded more than one goal in just one of their previous 22 competitive matches this season (only occasion was vs Juventus (a) in UWCL R32, W 3-2)
- Lyon have not conceded a goal in their last five UEFA Women’s Champions League matches against Paris
- Paris won the second leg in each of their previous four two-legged UEFA Champions League quarter-final ties
- The only time Paris have lost both legs of a two-legged UEFA Women’s Champions League tie was in the 2016 semi-finals vs Lyon
- PSG have kept one clean sheet in their last six UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final matches
THE PREDICTION
The battle between these two French giants continues in this quarter-final second leg, with Lyon boasting a slender one-goal advantage following an extremely tight first leg. Only one point currently separates the two teams in their domestic league, with both sides having won 14 of their 15 games although Paris defeated Lyon 1-0 last November to end their four-year unbeaten run in Division One Feminine. With the two matches already played between the two teams in both Division One Feminine and the Champions League having seen just one goal scored in each game, it would be a huge surprise if the same outcome wasn’t to occur in this second leg and with another extremely close affair in prospect, expect under 2.5 goals scored over the course of 90 minutes.
