The return match of the quarterfinal stage of the women's Champions League will take place at the "Olympic Park", where the local Lyon will host the Portuguese side Benfica. The match last week ended with a victory for the French team with a score of 2-1, although they managed to break Benfica's resistance only in the second half. After conceding an absurd goal due to an error at the end of the first 45 minutes, Lyon picked up the pace after the break and literally overwhelmed their opponent. Notably, they had 7 shots on target in the second half compared to none for the guests. Is there a chance for Benfica to bounce back into the game? We offer a match prediction from Dailysports experts.
