Football never goes on vacation and, this week, not only are the national teams playing, but the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League are also scheduled. No, there are no Italian teams: Roma and Juventus were eliminated in advance.
The strongest teams are now on the field. And in this article we analyze the matches between Real Madrid and Arsenal and Bayern Munich against Lyon. In the first game, despite the high-sounding name, the favorite to win this match – and certainly to go through to the next round – is the English team. The guests have spent a lot of money in the transfer market and, in the second leg, they should play, as happened against Juventus, at the Emirates. And this will certainly make the difference. But in general, the two teams on the field have different values and have also invested differently up to now. The guests are very much the favorites.
There is a bit of Italy, however, in Bayern Munich. In January the Germans paid the release clause and signed Arianna Caruso from Juventus. None of this will be enough to stop Lyon. They are an incredible team physically, truly built to win everything in France and in Europe. The guests start with all the favorites of the predictions and already in this match they should be able to finish the job and give themselves a walk in the park in the return match.
Arsenal’s victory is quoted at 1.97 on GoldBet and Lottomatica and 1.95 on Snai. Lyon’s victory is worth 1.85 times the stake on all the bookmakers mentioned above.
