Lyon Women welcome Wolfsburg Women to the Groupama Stadium on Tuesday in the UEFA Women's Champions League for matchday three of the league phase. Both teams have won both their matches in the competition so far, bagging six points from a possible six and occupying fourth and third position on the table, respectively.
Semi-finalists in the last season, Lyon began their campaign with a 2-1 win away to defending champions Arsenal, their conquerors in the last four in the previous campaign. Melchie Dumornay netted a brace in the first half to cancel out Alessia Russo's seventh-minute opener for the Gunners and seal all three points in London.
Les Lyonnaises then beat St. Polten 3-0 at home in their second match as Jule Brand, Ada Hegerberg, and Lily Yohannes all struck apiece to give their team another win.
Meanwhile, Wolfsburg crushed PSG 4-0 to begin their European sojourn with a bang. Jackie Groenen's seventh-minute own goal put the German side in front, before Ella Peddemors doubled their advantage just minutes before halftime.
Alexandra Popp made it 3-0 in the 90th minute before Janina Minge scored a penalty five minutes into stoppage time to put the final nail in PSG's coffin.
In their game against Valerenga, the She-wolves once again relied on a late goal, with Minge popping up with another penalty, this time in the 98th minute, to give her side a 2-1 win in Norway.
