Barcelona – Lyon Women’s Tip Champions League Women, final on Saturday
It is a thoroughly worthy final of the Champions League Women season 2025/26, the fourth of its kind! And in my Barcelona Lyon women’s tip, I stick to the French almost exclusively out of calculation. Lyon wins the trophy at XXL odds of around 5.00 is a priority for me in view of the fact that the sports betting providers mercilessly underestimate the Lyonnes.
In my opinion, “Les Lyonnaises” meet all the requirements to be much more than just a blatant outsider.
Would you like a good argument? They have been able to defeat the Catalans in four of the five joint UCLW duels since 2018.
Barcelona vs. Lyon Women AI Predictions:
“Les Lyonnaises” consist of a significant proportion of players who belong to the French national team and bring a lot of experience and quality at the highest level.
Against this background, the bet Draw-no-Bet: Lyon at odds around 5.20 seems quite interesting and possibly slightly undervalued.
A look at history underlines this even more: Lyon have won two of the three Champions League final duels against Barcelona so far and within 90 minutes (3-1 in 2021/22 and 4-1 in 2018/19).
Even if Barcelona may seem stronger on paper than ever before, this final is by no means likely to be a clear affair. Because Barca’s opponents have nerves of steel!
Predicted chance of winning:

I also had our data model’s data-driven Barcelona Lyon Women AI prediction presented to me and took a liking to the suggestion of a bet on Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.40, which would have been successful in 11 of Spain’s last 12 competitive games.
And since Lyon had just celebrated a monumental 8-0 victory over Nantes in the league, I should be able to involve their offensive department in the expected goal spectacle in Oslo.
So much so that if Lyon scores in both halves, I’m willing to give them a chance as well.
