The second leg will take place on Sunday, May 3, with the game scheduled to kick off at 00:00 AEST.

Quick Picks

Our pick: Lyon to win

Value bet: 'Over 2.5 goals'

Long shot: 'Arsenal And Draw' in the Double Chance

Betting Preview

Arsenal showed many of the qualities that they possess in women's soccer, as the defending champions managed to find their way back into the game after going behind early on.

Jule Brand managed to get the opener for Lyon in the first half, but then an own goal by Ingrid Syrstad Engen just before the hour mark gave the English side the impetus they needed to push on and find a winner.

That winner came with seven minutes of regular time left to play, when Olivia Smith managed to find the back of the net, handing Arsenal the advantage and a one-goal cushion to take to France on Sunday.

Lyon have experience of coming from behind when it matters, having done so against Werder Bremen in the quarter-final after losing 1-0 in the first leg away from home.

If the second leg is anything like the first leg, then it's worth keeping in mind the following statistics:

• Match possession was 50/50.
• Arsenal had 16 total shots with six on target.
• Lyon had six total shots with just one on target.
• Arsenal had five corners, while Lyon had one.

These figures could be worth considering if you're a fan of the prop markets and live betting.

Betting Markets to Watch

Given Lyon's proven ability to bounce back from a deficit when playing at home, they are considered moderate early pre-match favourites to win in the soccer betting odds.

However, with Arsenal's advantage and their ability to produce in France when it matters (won 4-1 in 2025 last time), we think there might be value in the Arsenal (W) and Draw market in the Double Chance.

The English side have resilience when playing and can look to be as defensive as possible with the one-goal advantage that they have.

With that said, we think there's value in the 'Over 2.5 Goals' market hitting.

Four of the last meetings between these teams have seen this hit, with it hitting six times across the eight all-time meetings between these two clubs.

Understanding what xG means can help you assess whether these goal-scoring trends are sustainable.
