Women’s Champions League Final Betting Preview

So this is a big moment for France with two of their top clubs battling it out for supremacy at the Cardiff City Stadium on June 1st. Lyon are the holders going into the Final and this will be their sixth overall, having won it three times before. They have been one of the leading teams in women’s football in Europe for a long while now and this is the third season on the bounce that the two of them have met in the Champions League. They were paired up in a high-profile semi-final last season and Lyon dominated the whole affair, winning 8-0 on aggregate. That’s some dominance but the season before it was PSG who knocked out Lyon in the round of 16. Lyon completed the domestic double this season. During the course of the regular league season, they traded home wins with PSG on their way to winning their 11th straight French title, with PSG ending up in third. The two clubs then they met up again in the French Cup Final, with Lyon winning out in a penalty shoot-out.

Lyon packs some star power with the likes of Eugénie Le Sommer, Ada Hegerberg and Alex Morgan. Both teams to score in the match is a price of 10/11 at Bet365 and with the amount of firepower that is around, you can have a punt over 2.5 goals at a price of 10/11 with the bookmaker as well. By getting to the final again this year, having moved past Manchester City in the semi-finals, they have matched Frankfurt’s record of reaching six finals and they will match their record of four wins in the tournament if they triumph. Either Lyon or Paris have been in all but one final since the rebrand to the UEFA Women’s Champions League in 2009/10. PSG’s previous appearance in the final came back in 2015 when they lost to Frankfurt. They took a 5-1 aggregate win over Barcelona in the semi finals and have won three of their last four games in the competition. PSG have averaged 2.25 goals per game in their last four games in the competition. In the Bet365 correct score market at Lyon 2-1 win may have some appeal around the 13/2 mark.

These two have produced plenty of goals throughout this season’s campaign as is usually the way. Lyon are worth backing just because of the vast experience advantage that they have over their opposition and probably have just more of the individual star quality to pull it off as well. It is worth having a punt on both teams to score at 10/11 with Bet365, but for Lyon Women to come out on top.

Women’s Champions League Final History

The tournament was first known as the UEFA Women’s Cup Finals and the Final itself was contested over two legs. That very first edition was held in the 2001/02 season which was won by German side Frankfurt, who would go on to win it two more times under that moniker. In the 2009/10 season, the competition was rebranded as the UEFA Women’s Champions League Final and the first winner of that was another German side, FFC Turbine Potsdam. All in all, Germany are the most successful nation in the Women’s Champions League Final having won it nine times. France then follows up with three wins and each of those were from Lyon. Sweden have banked two wins through Umea and England have won it just the once, with Arsenal triumphing back in the 2006/07 season.
