Expect fireworks as Chelsea host Lyon

Chelsea hold a 1-0 advantage of Lyon heading into the second leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final but the tie is by no means a foregone conclusion and goals could be on the cards when they clash again at Stamford Bridge.

The onus is on Lyon to attack the second leg with a win required to progress to the semi-finals and that could spell trouble for a Chelsea team who have shown shades of vulnerability recently.

After a formidable start to the season, Chelsea had not lost a match since the opening day of the Women’s Super League campaign before losing to Arsenal in the Women’s FA Cup a matter of weeks ago.

And they sustained a second defeat this month last time out in the WSL away to Manchester City, so punters may want to be wary of backing them.

Instead goals could be the way to go. These clubs have two of the most prolific players in this season’s Champions League in Melvine Malard, who is on four goals, and Sam Kerr, who has five, and over 3.5 goals looks a good bet, as does a 2-2 draw.
