FC Barcelona v Olympique Lyon Betting Tips [21 May 2022]

A tough clash is expected at the Allianz Arena in Turin when Barcelona and Lyon face off in the Women’s Champions League final. Both sides are coming from key wins and this is expected to be cut-throat. Barcelona are coming from three straight wins and will be a dominant side in this game. They reached here by eliminating Wolfsburg 5-3 on aggregate in the semis and having also dominated in their domestic league, Barcelona will be viewing this as a game they can win. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid; that was their 55th straight win in the league and they’ve scored two or more goals in the last five. In the run to this game though, Barcelona haven’t managed many clean sheets; they actually have just one in the last 10 games. In the last 13 Women’s Champions League matches, Barcelona have suffered just one loss, and won 11.

Lyon also go into this game with a great run; they’ve registered six straight wins and in their domestic league, they finished unbeaten in a run that stretches to 33 games. After seeing off PSG in the semis, they should be feeling ready for Barcelona and they are on a good scoring run as well. In each of their last six matches, Lyon have scored two or more goals, and only twice in the last 10 matches have they failed to reach that. Lyon have managed two clean sheets in the last five matches but three of their last four games have produced over 2.5 goals, as both sides have scored. Each of their last five Champions League matches as well, has produced over 2.5 goals. The last time they played at the Allianz Arena, they fell 2-1 to Juventus in the quarters, but a 3-1 home win saw them sail through.

Two great performers face off in the women’s Champions League final and going by their recent numbers in attack, we expect goals here. Both sides are capable of winning the title and with their recent performances, it will be hard to choose who. In four earlier meetings, Lyon have emerged winners all through. The tide could change here, but one thing we are sure of is that this game will have over 2.5 goals scored.
