Both Juventus Women and OL Lyonnes have made promising starts to this season’s Women’s UEFA Champions League, but it is the French visitors who will be expected to sustain their challenge for longer.
OL Lyonnes are the most decorated club in the history of the women's UEFA Champions League, winning eight titles and finishing runner-up on four occasions, which includes to Barcelona Women last season.
For Juventus, they are yet to go past the quarter-final stage and still have significant ground to make up on Europe’s elite.
Juventus have recovered well from losing 2-1 at home to Benfica Women in their UEFA Champions League opener, recording wins over Hacken Women and Austria Vienna Women.
However, the Italian side face a much stiffer assignment against OL Lyonnes, who have taken seven points from their three UEFA Champions League outings.
A regular in the knockout stages, Les Fenottes should be full of confidence given that the only time they have failed to win this season came in a goalless draw at Chelsea Women on matchday two.

Juventus Women v OL Lyonnes Women Prediction
Best Bet: OL Lyonnes to win & over 3.5 goals @ 8/11
Having finished runner-up to Barcelona in last season’s UEFA Champions League, OL Lyonnes will be determined to go one place better and be crowned European champions for a ninth time.
Jonatan Giraldez’s sides last success in Europe came in 2022 and the way they have started the season suggests that they are serious contenders.
OL Lyonnes have won all eight games in Ligue 1, which includes a 4-0 rout of Paris Saint-Germain, and they have racked up 48 goals along the way.
This season’s UEFA Champions League campaign has featured an 8-0 win away at Servette while they were 6-0 winners at home to Inter on matchday three.
A goalless draw with Chelsea was a rare off day for their attackers and they should be able to chalk up a high-scoring win at Juventus, who sit sixth in Serie A after six games.
Juve have won three and lost three of their six league games, having suffered a 5-2 defeat at home to Roma and sustaining a 4-2 beating from visiting Como.
Juventus held Lyon to a 3-3 draw at home in last season’s UEFA Champions League but they threw away a three-goal lead and were fortunate having lost the shot count 26 to eight.
Alternative Bet: Marie-Antoinette Katoto to score two or more @ 3/1
Marie-Antoinette Katoto is one of a number of potent attacking weapons for OL Lyonnes and she has already scored 14 goals in 13 matches this season.
Katoto grabbed her third consecutive brace in Saturday’s 7-1 success at Lens and she can stay on the goalscoring trail in Italy.
The 28-year-old scored a hat-trick in the 8-0 win at Servette on matchday one and she was on the scoresheet in last season’s 3-3 draw at Juventus.

Over 4.5 goals
Marie-Antoinette Katoto anytime goalscorer
Alba Redondo anytime goalscorer
Pays 33/4
These two teams shared the spoils in a six-goal thriller at Stadio Vittorio Pozzo and the goals should flow again.
OL Lyonnes are one of the most prolific teams in Europe, having scored four or more in 10 of their last 11 games, so this should be entertaining.
Having scored in each of her last five games, Katoto looks set to make her mark again for the visitors, while Alba Redondo could get in on the action for Juventus.
Redondo has failed to score in only two of her last 11 appearances and has netted in all three of Juve’s Champions League fixtures.
