OL Lyonnes vs St. Polten prediction
It's been a hugely positive start to the season for OL Lyonnes, which was underlined by their excellent and fully-deserved 1-2 victory at holders Arsenal on Matchday 1.
The eight-time winners made some big statements in the transfer market over the summer and will look to flex their muscles here against a St. Polten side who look a significant step down in quality.
The Austrian outfit were heavily outclassed in a 0-6 defeat to Atletico Madrid last week, and it is expected that their shortcomings will be exposed once more against another talented opponent.
There is little value to be had in simply backing a home win, so look for OL to overcome a healthy handicap on home turf.
