Will the Fenottes capitalize on the Gunners’ current crisis?
It was only a few months ago that Arsenal Women’s Football Club won the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the club’s history. On their way to the title, Renée Slegers’ team eliminated none other than today’s guests from southeastern France in the semifinals.
Currently, however, the omens have changed somewhat. While the Fenottes are once again on top of the world in France after four matchdays with four wins and a goal difference of 19:3, the Gunners have not won any of their last three league games (two draws, one defeat) and are currently only fifth in England. Our tendency is therefore to tip the French women to win points in Arsenal vs. Lyon Women.
Overall, the record clearly favors OL Lyonnes. The French women lost 4-1 at home in the aforementioned semifinal after a 2-1 away win on the Thames, missing out on a place in the final. Overall, however, the Fenottes have won six of their nine competitive games against the Gunners (one draw, two defeats). However, we do not expect a goal fest in London. Accordingly, the combined tip on double chance X2 with under 4.5 goals is very popular.
The following statistic is also striking: Olympique Lyon’s women’s team has visited Arsenal Women Football Club four times so far, and in all four cases, the Fenottes came away with an away win in the UK capital. So if you’re not afraid to take a risk, you can cash in on high odds for Arsenal vs. Lyon Women that the French will once again take all three points from London in this year’s league phase.
Arsenal – Lyon Women Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Head to head: 2 – 1 – 6
A total of nine competitive matches have taken place between these two top European soccer clubs so far, with OL Lyonnes leading the head-to-head record very clearly with six wins. Nevertheless, the last meeting ended disappointingly for the Fenottes.
In the spring of 2025, the two teams faced each other in the Champions League semi-final. After a 2-1 away win in London, the French women were defeated 4-1 in front of their home crowd, allowing the Gunners to advance to the final, which they then won 1-0 against Barcelona.
Arsenal – Lyon Women Tip
There are two reasons why our prediction for Arsenal vs. Lyon Women favors the away team from southeastern France. First, the Fenottes have won all four of their previous away games against the Gunners without exception. And second, things have been anything but smooth sailing for the defending champions from the Thames in league play recently. The Londoners have been waiting for another win for three league games (two draws, one defeat), while Lyon have once again got off to an excellent start and are comfortably leading the table in France with twelve out of a possible twelve points and a goal difference of 19:3.
We don’t expect a goal fest in the English capital. However, we believe that the Gunners’ first ever home win against OL Lyonnes would also be very surprising. It is therefore very exciting to play a match combo on the double chance X2 with under 4.5 goals.
The betting odds for Arsenal vs. Lyon Women are 2.02 in the handy Betano app, which we are betting on with four out of ten units.
