Wolfsburg W – Lyon W Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (23.03.2017)

Prediction for Wolfsburg W – Lyon W

Olympique Lyonnais to win @ 1.95

Well, let’s get into the most spectacular match of the Women’s Champions’ quarter-finals, which could be said as an early final between the two finalists of the Champions League last year: the German Wolfsburg and the French Lyon. I’m going to bet on the victory of visitors and current champions of Europe as I consider it to be the best team in the world and by far.

Wolfsburg W

It is the first leg on Bavarian soil, but I think the French will leave the tie since the first leg.

On the one hand, Wolfsburg, 2nd placed in the German league behind the surprising Potsdam, with 29 goals in favor and 7 against, with 11 victories, 2 draws and 1 only defeat. It comes from eliminating in the Eighth to the weak Eskilstuna (1-5 and 3-0). In league they come from an important victory by 2-0 against Bayern Munich of our Spanish Vero Boquete.

They have a good squad, with people like the Swiss Dickenmann, Popp, and especially, the Swedish Fischer. But an important fact in favor of our pick are the very important casualties that it has: it will not be able to play the current pichichi of the Champions, the Hungarian Jakabfi, and will not be able to play Lena Goessling, two hard losses for the Germans.

Lyon W

On the contrary, Lyon, are the current champions of Europe and for me, have the best staff in the world. They are undisputed leaders of the French league with 15 wins and 1 only defeat, with a balance that says it all with 73 goals in favor and only 6 against.

They come from rolling in the round of 16 to a good team like Zurich (team that was first of their group, 5, with full of victories 3 of 3) with a forceful 8-0 and 0-9.

They are a real team, they maintained the block of last year (except for the well-known losses of Necib, Henry and Schelin who withdrew from Lyon after conquering the Champions League last year), joined by the end of the year American Alex Morgan who has landed the big, with 5 goals in the two games played, and have in their ranks true stars like Abily, Le Sommer, Lavogez, Japanese Kumagai, but above all, the Norwegian Hegerberg (named best Player year 2016).

The last confrontation between these two heavyweights as I say, was in the Champions final last year held in Italy with the final result of 1-1 (Lyon defeated on penalties), and I have to say that I was able to enjoy the game and was Very superior the French team, was ahead throughout the match and the error was not kill the match in the countless occasions they had, and were left to tie in an oversight in the 90th minute.

I think they will try to kill the tie in the first leg and leave the homework done for the return in France, as I consider Lyon better team but they will not have it easy.
