Will FCB Femení win the Champions League?

The Catalans are on course to win their next title. Having already clinched the Spanish league title and the Copa del Rey, they now face the final of the Women’s Champions League, where FC Barcelona Femení are aiming for the treble. Their opponents on Saturday evening are France’s top team Olympique Lyon.

For FCB Femení, this is a chance for revenge. Two years ago, they already played a final against the French representative – with the better ending for “OL”. This time – at least in our estimation – a bet on the in-form Catalans in FC Barcelona vs Lyon Women is obvious

For the “Blaugrana”, it would be their first ever win against their upcoming opponents from France. In the five previous H2hs – four of them in the Champions League – the Catalans have suffered five defeats.

If FCB’s recent run of form is anything to go by, it stands to reason that their losing streak against Lyon will come to an end this week. After all, head coach Jonatan Giráldez’s side go into the CL final in impressive form

Barcelona – statistics & current form

FC Barcelona Femení made it through the semi-finals of the 2024 Champions League without any damage after all. After the bitter defeat in the first leg against Chelsea, the Catalans managed to stage a comeback away from home. FCB won the encounter in London 2:0 to reach the UWCL final for the fourth time in a row.

FCB Femení have won two of the previous three Women’s Champions League finals. They only missed out in 2022. Their opponents back then? Olympique Lyon. Now there is a chance for revenge against “Les Fenottes”. On Saturday evening, Barcelona will face the French record champions in San Mamés in the Basque Country.

As the quotes from the bookmakers with a German license show, FCB Femení are the clear favourites for the match. For a Barcelona vs Lyon women’s bet on head coach Giráldez’s charges, the odds are currently only 1.40. We think betting on this is quite obvious in FCB’s current condition

Will the Catalans roll over Lyon?

Having already bagged the league title with ease, FC Barcelona Femení also won the Copa del Rey last week. The “Blaugrana” won with a resounding victory (8:0) against the women’s football section of Real Sociedad and thus already secured the double this season.

They now have the chance to win the treble in the Champions League. Considering how strong Barcelona have been throughout the season, it is obvious that they will also win the next international trophy. The H2h against Lyon should not be overrated, especially as FCB Femení have improved significantly in recent years.

There are no major personnel worries on the Catalan side. Giráldez can largely draw on a full squad. Compared to the team that played in the Copa del Rey final, FCB are unlikely to make any major changes.

Predicted Barcelona line-up:
Panos – Bronze, Paredes, Engen, Batlle – Bonmati, Guijarro, Pina – Graham, Caldentey, Paraluello

Lyon Women – Statistics & current form

Olympique Lyon have reached the final of the Women’s Champions League for the eleventh time in the club’s history. Lyon have won the title in eight of these ten finals. The French representative has only lost out twice in the UWCL final. The last time was in 2013, when the Wolves from the Bundesliga took the title in the final.

Since then, “Les Fenottes” have not lost a single final in the Women’s Champions League. The team of head coach Sonia Bompastor aims to extend this streak this week, but will have to beat the favorites from Barcelona to do so.

The H2h speaks in favor of the French record title holder. Lyon have won every match against Barcelona so far and have a record of 5-0-0. Bettors who are therefore leaning towards a French win this time can also use the Bwin bonus for a corresponding Barcelona vs.

Will Lyon dethrone the defending champions?

Since March 2024, Olympique Lyon Women have lost just one of their last twelve matches. That defeat came against Bordeaux in the league. However, Bompastor’s team have won eleven of their last twelve competitive matches. Most recently, there have been two wins in a row, including the showdown against PSG Women.

Lyon thus crowned themselves champions of the French top flight. The Champions League now gives them the chance to do the season’s double. Compared to the team that won 2:1 against PSG last time out, no changes are expected on the “Les Fenottes” side.

Predicted Lyon Women’s line-up:
Endler – Bacha, Renard, Gilles, Carpenter – van de Donk, Egurrola, Horan – Cascarino, Dumornay, Diani

Barcelona – Lyon Women head-to-head / H2H result

This is the fifth time the two clubs have met in the Champions League. In the four previous encounters in the UWCL, Olympique Lyon came out on top. The last time was in 2022, when Lyon beat FCB Femení 3-1 to win the eighth CL title in the club’s history.

It was one of a total of four matches in the last five H2hs in which the three-goal mark between the two clubs was broken. Betting on over 2.5 goals in the match is also obvious this time

With their resounding victory against Real Sociedad last week, the Catalans not only won the cup title, but also warmed up for the upcoming match in the UWCL final.

Barcelona lost the final against “Les Fenottes” in the UWCL 2022. The upcoming match is therefore all the more important. If the Blaugrana’s recent run of form is anything to go by, it stands to reason that Barca will get their revenge against Lyon Women’s.
