OL Lyonnes vs Wolfsburg prediction
It's two league phase wins from two for eight-time European champions OL Lyonnes, who followed their Matchday 1 defeat of holders Arsenal (1-2) with a 3-0 triumph over St. Polten, despite Jonatan Giraldez making a raft of changes to his team in the latter match.
The French club most recently beat Montpellier 1-5 in Ligue 1 Femenine on Friday, making it seven wins from seven in their domestic league.
Wolfsburg have likewise won their opening two matches in the UEFA Women's Champions League, although they needed a 98th-minute penalty from Janina Minge to defeat Valerenga 1-2 on Matchday 2.
The German side, two-time European champions themselves, lost 2-3 to Frankfurt on Saturday, and they are currently second in the Frauen-Bundesliga behind Bayern Munich.
These two sides have a storied history, having met ten times previously and contested four finals. OL have won the last six though, including both meetings in last season's group stage, and we think they should be favoured here given their impressve start to the season.
