Lyon W has defeated Benfica women in all three meetings in the UWCL.
Lyon firmly controls affairs in their domestic league with a seven-point lead over PSG W. Their determination to reclaim the UCL crown is also unwavering. With several top performances in both competitions this season, the Lions will be aiming for a double this year.
Lyon holds a significant advantage in this tie after their 2-1 away victory in the first leg. A win will secure a semifinal clash against either Hacken or Paris St-Germain. Lyon’s confidence will be high after their 7-0 triumph over Lille in their last league encounter. All Lyon ladies vs Benfica ladies betting predictions consider them favorites to emerge victorious in this knockout phase.
Amandine and Julini are major injury concerns for Lyon W.
Benfica Ladies continue to impress in their domestic campaign, leading the standings with 47 points after 18 matches. They marked their maiden UWCL quarter-final appearance against Lyon Ladies last week with a brave performance. Despite a narrow defeat, Benfica’s resilient display limited Lyon’s goalscoring opportunities.
The tie remains delicately poised, with the second leg still offering both sides a chance to progress. Benfica will take confidence from their 4-1 victory over Braga last weekend. Previously, they drew Damaiense in their last league game.
Araujo and Raysla were withdrawn during the 1st leg due to injuries and remain doubtful for this match. Gudmundsdóttir and Almeida are also out.

Lyon Women showed resilience in Lisbon last week, clawing back from a deficit to secure a 2-1 victory. They return home for the second leg with a crucial advantage. The return of their star striker, Ada Hegerberg, bolsters their attack. Hegerberg is their highest scorer, and her presence will concern the Benfica defense.
Benfica, already facing a goal deficit, are further hampered by additional injuries. Meanwhile, Lyon’s dominant 7-0 win over Lille will boost their morale. Lyon is a firm favorite with momentum firmly on their side and Hegerberg back in the squad. We expect a dominant performance, with a comfortable victory that could see them win by a margin of 3 goals or more.

Likewise, Benfica has notched 58 goals in 18 Liga matches with an average of about 3 per game.

Ada Hegerberg to score is our last Lyon women vs Benfica women prediction. The Norwegian has scored 24 goals in 26 appearances for Lyon this season across all competitions, five of which were scored in 6 UWCL appearances in the group stage. Ada is the second-highest scorer in the Feminine Division 1 with 12 goals from 14 league starts. She missed the previous two appearances for Lyon, and her return could prove decisive for the team’s progression. This makes her a favorable option on good betting apps to net in this match.
