Another statement victory for the Fenottes?
Tuesday evening will see a clash between two European heavyweights. The two teams have already faced each other in four Champions League finals, with the Wolves winning only the very first final in 2013 and then losing three times in a row to the Fenottes.
OL Lyonnes remains the record winner of the Women’s Champions League with eight titles, which is why the tip for Lyon vs. Wolfsburg Women is on the French team, who are the clear favorites. After all, Lyon have won all of their last six competitive games against Wolfsburg.
Although the Champions League title went to Arsenal FC this summer, Lyon celebrated a convincing 2-1 away win against the Londoners on the first matchday of the Champions League group stage. In fact, OL have won all nine competitive games of the 2025/26 season so far, which is why we fear that the Wolves, who suffered a 2-3 home defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt in their dress rehearsal on Saturday, could potentially be crushed at the OL Stadium. We therefore find a lot of value in the Lyon vs. Wolfsburg Women prediction for a handicap win for the Fenottes -1.
Above all, the French women’s hunger for goals remains unbroken, as they celebrated a 5-1 away win in Montpellier in their dress rehearsal on Friday in the Première Ligue Féminine. So if you’re looking for higher odds on Lyon vs. Wolfsburg Women, you can alternatively bet on OL scoring at least three goals in their home game against the Wolves, which is still a moderate risk.
Considering that VfL Wolfsburg has defensive problems, has not kept a clean sheet in any of its last six competitive games, and has conceded three goals twice during this period (against Bayern and Frankfurt), this tip also comes with a positive expected value.

Lyon – Wolfsburg Women Tip
Historically, this duel has usually been fiercely contested, especially since both women’s teams have already played four Champions League finals against each other. Not only have the Fenottes won all of their last six encounters against the Wolves, but they are also currently in much better form overall, which is why the tip for Lyon against Wolfsburg Women is almost inevitably a home win for the French team.
The question is therefore how to play tip 1 in order to drive up the betting odds for Lyon vs. Wolfsburg Women while keeping the risk within manageable limits. Based on the Fenottes’ hunger for goals, we believe that the -1 handicap bet best serves this purpose.
