A draw is enough but Lyon will try to win a fifth consecutive match in the Women's Champions League, this Wednesday at the Atatürk Stadium in Istanbul in a match on the 5th day of the group stage, against the Turkish club Galatasaray, to ensure first place in Pool A of the event.
In the first leg, the Lyonnaises, undefeated leaders of the French championship and who remain on seven victories in a row in all competitions, won 3-0, on October 8 at the Groupama stadium, against an opponent new to the competition and last in the group after losing all their matches.
Lyon can still lose and retain first place on the condition that Wolfsburg, the last opponent of the Rhodaniennes on December 17 at Décines-Charpieu, does not win against AS Rome, the latter two clubs being tied at six lengths behind the OL.
“It’s a Champions League match and it’s always important to finish top of the group. At Olympique Lyonnais, we always want to be in front without ever letting up. Also, it's good to maintain our momentum by winning for the following matches,” conceded Dutch international midfielder Damaris Egurrola at a pre-match press conference.
“It’s a European Cup match that we will play in a big, famous stadium. There is no question of letting anything go. The most important thing is to get a good performance in order to think about finishing this first part of the season well,” declared OL's Australian coach, Joe Montemurro.
The match between Galatasaray and Lyon will be followed at 6:45 p.m. on DAZN.
