Have you been listening to our women’s football podcast? Here’s the latest edition with a focus on Aston Villa’s Conti Cup controversy:
Tonight’s match is Sonia Bompastor’s 100th game in charge of Lyon. In that time she has won two French league titles, the WCL and three other French cups. And incredible feat for a manager who took over at the French club in 2021.
The team news is in! Lyon are not holding back despite already qualifying for the quarters with a front line of Diani, Hegerberg and Majri.
Lyon: Benkarth, Carpenter, Gilles, Sombath, Bacha, Van de Donk, Egurrola, Horan, Diani, Hegerberg, Majri
Slavia Prague have trusted captain Bartovicova leading the defence in a tricky fixture.
Slavia Prague: Lukasova, Bartovicova, Keene, Bendova, Xiao, Cerna, McLaughlin, Slajsova, Stackpole, Krejcirikova, Moravkova,
Preamble
Hello and welcome back to the Women’s Champions League. Tonight we will focus on Lyon v Slavia Prague as the group stage comes to a close.
Lyon have already been confirmed as quarter-finalists and Slavia Prague are out with Brann taking the other qualifying position from group B. The visitors will want to make sure the scoreline doesn’t reach what the reverse fixture did when Lyon demolished them 9-0.
The French side will want to close the group stage in good fashion and so it could be a long evening for Slavia Prague, but there is a small possibility of a WCL upset.
Before we take a look at the game in more detail, the team news has been announced. Stay tuned for updates.
