Juventus Women and Lyon Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League fixture on Wednesday (November 19th). The game will be played at Stadio Vittorio Pozzo.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a routine 2-0 victory over Genoa at the same venue in Serie A Femminile over the weekend. Amalie Vangsgaard put them ahead midway through the first half and Cristiana Girelli doubled their lead five minutes later.
The Bianconere will turn their focus to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a 2-1 away win over Juventus.
Lyon, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 3-1 home win over Wolfsburg. They were 2-0 up at the break thanks to Ada Hegerberg's brace. Wendie Renard made it 3-0 from the spot in the 72nd minute. Lineth Beerensteyn scored a consolation strike for the visitors with 10 minutes left on the clock.
The win left the French outfit in second spot in the standings, having garnered maximum points from three games. Juventus are seventh on six points.

Juventus Women vs Lyon Women Prediction
Juventus won their first two games of the UWCL as they aim to make major inroads on the continent. However, they are still some levels below Europe's elite and this game offers them another opportunity to prove their mettle against one of the best sides in the world.
Lyon have made an unsurprisingly emphatic start to the season across competitions as they seek to reclaim glory on the continent.
We expect the visitors to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
