Barcelona W vs Lyon W Prediction & Betting Tips (25 May)

Reigning European champion, Barcelona hopes to do it again this evening in Spain against Bilbao at the San Mames. The Barcelona women have been irresistible in recent weeks having won their last 7 matches in all competitions including a crushing victory over Real Sociedad in the Queen's Cup final 0-8 on neutral ground. It should also be noted that the Catalans are aiming for the treble since the championship is already folded with 18 points ahead of Real Madrid just two days before the end of the season. Furthermore, in the league, they had a great success on the Eibar pitch 0-4, against Bilbao at home 7-0, on the side of Granada 1-4 and a setback inflicted on Madrid C.F 8-0. In the previous round, Alexia Putellas' comrades had to get rid of the serious London team of Chelsea and despite their defeat in the first leg at home 0-1, they corrected the situation in the return in London 0-2 by notably scoring the second goal of the qualification in numerical superiority.

The Lyonnaises are warned, Barcelona is perhaps the best in women's football today. The Fenottes intend to put an end to Catalan hegemony and they will be able to draw on their experience at this level of the competition with no less than 10 finals played, 8 won and 2 lost. Lyon also holds the coronation record in this area and after having eliminated PSG in the semi-final by winning the first leg 3 goals to 2 in the space of six minutes 0-2 in the 80th minute, 3-2 in the 86th and finishing the job at the Parc des Princes in front of just under 30,000 people 1-2. The Lyonnaises also did it again in the championship by being crowned for the 17th time in their history and especially for the 3rd time in a row.

There is talent on the Barça paper with in particular the best scorer and assistor in the Spanish championship Graham (19 goals, 18 assists), the star Salma Paralluelo (18 goals, 3 assists), the 22-year-old striker Pina (12 goals, 5 offerings) without forgetting Caldentey (9 pawns, 8 assists) author of a double in the final of the Copa del Reina against Sociedad, midfielder Bonmati (8 goals, 11 goals in the championship) and the Ballon d'Or Alexia Putellas (8 pawns, 5 assists in the league), injured for a long time at the start of the season. We can finally announce that the main major forces of the squad will be in combat gear this evening. OL found their Norwegian striker Hegerberg (12 points in the league) at the best of times. In fact, injured for a long time, the former Ballon d'Or returned to the group recently but will probably start on the bench at kick-off. On the other hand, the bad news is for Eugénie Le Sommer (10 goals in the league) who has not set foot on the pitch since the international break with Les Bleues in April.

Absent since the end of March, the important Dabritz (8 goals, 2 assists in D1 Arkema) will also probably be forced to give up her place. On the other hand, girls like Lindsey Horan (6 goals, 2 assists), Becho (5 pawns, 5 caviars) or the Haitian midfielder Dumornay (6 goals, 5 pancakes) and the captain Wendie Renard (6 goals in the championship) will be travel. Top scorer in the Champions League with her 8 goals, Diani will be in the running at San Mames this evening.
