OL Lyonnes v Chelsea – Wednesday, 8pm
View all available markets at William Hill
- Eight‑time winners Lyon are back on the hunt for European glory after finishing runners‑up to Barcelona last season, and they’ve started this campaign in frightening form.
- Jonatan Giráldez’s side have opened the season with four wins from four, scoring at least seven goals in every single match — an outrageous statement of intent from a team desperate to reclaim their crown.
- Replicating those numbers here is unlikely given the step up in opposition, and Lyon have scored more than once in just two of their last five meetings with Chelsea. Even so, the hosts are strong favourites at 2/5 with William Hill.
- Sonia Bompastor returns to her former club with a Chelsea side that have beaten Lyon only once in five attempts — but that victory did come in their most recent meeting, a 1–0 win away from home in March 2023.
- The Blues have also built a superb record against French opposition, winning five straight UWCL matches against French clubs, their longest streak against any nation other than Scotland (six).
- It’s a huge ask, but this should be far tighter than the market suggests. Punters looking for value may be tempted by Chelsea at 24/5 with William Hill to pull off another big result in France.
