Team News

Starting with the hosts, Sophie Kleinherne and Lena Lattwein have both been ruled out of Tuesday’s game due to injury.

Meanwhile, Alex Popp was forced off with a calf injury last time out and is a doubt, as are Camilla Kuver, Kessya Bussy and Joelle Wedemeyer for Wolfsburg.

Football Odds

As for OL, Liana Joseph is a long-term absentee as she continues to work her way back from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Tabitha Chawinga is pushing for a starting role, which means Vicki Becho might have to settle for a spot on the bench on Tuesday.

Wolfsburg vs OL Lyonnes Odds

Wolfsburg are the underdogs at 6/1 to claim the win in this first leg, while OL Lyonnes are the 1/3 favourites to take a lead back to France for the second leg.

A draw on the night is currently 9/2, while OL Lyonnes to win both halves is available at 7/4.

OL Lyonnes to win & both teams to score @ 13/10

Having faced each other in the league phase of this competition earlier this season, these two teams will be familiar with each other going into the first leg of this quarter-final.

It was OL who came out on top in that game at Parc Olympique Lyonnais back in November, winning 3-1 on home soil.

Wolfsburg were well beaten that night, trailing by three goals before a late consolation goal from Lineth Beerensteyn.

Even with home advantage at Volkswagen Arena, it’s hard to see Wolfsburg stopping OL from claiming another victory but, having found the net in their last 12 competitive games, the German outfit should be backed to get on the scoresheet in this first leg.

Ada Hegerberg two or more goals @ 2/1

Former Ballon d’Or Feminin winner Ada Hegerberg was the star of the show when these sides last met in November and the Norwegian star is likely to be a key figure once again in this game.

Bagging a brace in that win over Wolfsburg and having scored against Fleury 91 at the weekend, Hegerberg is good value to score at least two goals against a Wolfsburg defence that struggled to cope with her quality in the league phase encounter.
