Arsenal get their Women’s Champions League campaign underway against Lyon on Tuesday, and our betting tips for the clash can be backed in a 5/1 bet builder.
Reigning UEFA Women’s Champions League winners Arsenal kickstart their title defence with a home clash against French champions Lyon in the new league phase format on Tuesday.
The Gunners overcame OL 5-3 on aggregate in the semi-finals last term before upsetting Spanish giants Barcelona 1-0 in the final to be crowned European champions for a second time.
Renee Slegers’ side, having won their opening two Women’s Super League games of the campaign, head into continental action off the back of a three-game winless run.
Draws against Manchester United and Aston Villa followed their victories over London City and West Ham, with their most recent outing ending in a 3-2 defeat away at Manchester City.
It’s a return that leaves them in fifth place in the table on eight points after five games.
Lyon, meanwhile, have enjoyed a perfect start to 2025-26. Thus far in the Premiere Ligue, Jonatan Giraldez have won four from four and sit three points clear at the summit.
They opened the season with a 3-1 win over Marseille, followed by a 2-0 triumph over Saint-Etienne and comfortable 6-1 and 8-1 triumphs over Paris Saint-Germain and RC Lens.
Arsenal Women vs Lyon Bet Builder Tips

Lyon to Win @ 13/10
First up, we’re backing the visitors to come away with the win at Meadow Park.
As previously mentioned, the French side have been flawless this term, winning all four of their competitive matches thus far, while Arsenal are without a win in three straight matches.
Additionally, when the pair faced off in Borehamwood last term, Lyon sealed a 2-1 victory. This was before Arsenal turned the tie around in a 4-1 win in the second leg out in France.
In fact, OL have prevailed in each of their last four away games against the Gunners.
At a price of 13/10, there’s strong value in backing the visitors to extend that record here.
Both Teams to Score – Yes @ 4/9
Next up, we’re backing both teams to score over the course of 90 minutes.
This feat has been achieved in four of the pair’s last five meetings in the UWCL, as well as in four of Arsenal’s five competitive matches this term and in three of Lyon’s four.
On top of that, both sides boast a wide array of world-class attacking talent.
The Gunners have the likes of Alessia Russo, Caitlin Foord, Beth Mead, Stina Blackstenius, Chloe Kelly and Mariona Caldentey available at their disposal.
Memorably, Kelly scored the winning penalty for England in the Euro 2025 final.
Meanwhile, Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Kadidiatou Diani, Ada Hegerberg, Tabitha Chawinga, Melchie Dumornay and many more are available to feature for the visitors.
At 4/9, this looks to be a safe addition to your three fold bet builders.
Tabitha Chawinga to Score at Any Time @ 13/8
Finally, we’ve selected Chawinga to score at any time for Lyon on Tuesday.
The Malawi international has registered two goals and two assists in two appearances for OL this term, including a goal and an assist in her last outing against Lens on Friday evening.
Likely to feature on the left-hand side of Lyon’s attack, at a price of 13/8, the 29-year-old is a prime candidate to get on the scoresheet in Hertfordshire on Tuesday evening.
