Arsenal Women vs Lyon Women Prediction and Betting Tips | April 19th 2025

Arsenal Women and Lyon Women will square off in the first leg of their UEFA Women's Champions League semifinal tie on Saturday (April 19th). The game will be played at the Emirates Stadium.

The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 5-1 home win over Leicester City in the Women's Super League last weekend. They were three goals up at the break, courtesy of Caitlin Foord's brace and Stina Blackstenius' 16th-minute strike. Bethany Mead and Victoria Pelova scored on either side of Yuka Momiki in the second half to complete the rout.

Lyon, meanwhile, played out a 2-2 draw at home to Paris FC in the Premiere Ligue. They twice took the lead through Damaris Egurrola and Amel Majri but Clara Mateo and Mathilde Bourdieu equalized on each occasion to share the spoils.

Les Fenottes will shift their attention to the continent and have booked their spot at this stage with a 6-1 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich. Arsenal qualified with a 3-2 comeback aggregate win over Real Madrid to get here.

Barcelona or Chelsea await the winner of this tie in the final.
