After 4 games in the Champions League, Arsenal find themselves on top of the group, and 3 points above their next opponents Lyon!
In their last Champions League game, they earned all three points against Juventus, and on match day 1, they won against Lyon by the accounts of 5-1!
So now we could have a Lyon side travelling to the Emirates hoping for revenge!
On Sunday, The Gunners emerged victorious against Aston Villa by smashing them 4-1 in the Women’s Super League.
In addition to winning at Villa Park, Arsenal set a new club record by winning eight straight away games in the WSL, giving them eight victories out of nine games this season.
The majority of the game was in favour of the Gunners, but they went down after Hanson intercepted a ball from Kenza Dali and fired a bouncing shot past Zinsberger from the left outside of the Arsenal box.
However, the goal failed to break the visitors’ momentum.
After McCabe’s cross from the byline was diverted by Hannah Hampton onto Corsie, who then redirected the ball into her own goal, Arsenal finally scored the goal they deserved.
A corner then dropped Miedema’s way, and she fired a volley inside the near post.
Again, Hampton’s stop led to their third goal as McCabe had the easy task of converting the rebound after the goalkeeper kicked Stephanie Catley’s cross straight to her.
After that, Foord eluded Danielle Turner to set up Nobbs, who swept home the opportunity to seal a convincing victory!
With that done…
You should know, Arsenal have a really good chances of winning the Women’s Super League, as their outright odds marked @ 2.5 on average.
The market sees Arsenal as the second most likely team to win only behind favourites Chelsea, who have their odds @ 1.67.
In the case of Lyon Women, they find themselves 2nd on the table of Divsion 1 France.
They are just a point behind PSG, and they can be considered to be in the contention for the title!
In their last 5 league matches, they have had 3 wins.
And even in their Champions League group, they are second, just behind arsenal as mentioned before.
Having defeated this Lyon side 5-1 on the first match day, The Gunners will be feeling extremely confident stepping into this one!
