Lyon preview: The dominant team in Germany
Lyon were by far the better team during the first leg in Germany last week, dominating all the statistics.
The visitors had 55% of the overall possession, a higher pass accuracy, nine shots on target to Bayern's one and avoided a single booking. Tabitha Chawinga fired Lyon in front in the 35th minute and Melchie Dumornay scored her third goal of the tournament in the 65th minute to wrap up a comfortable 2-0 victory for Lyon.
Predicted lineup: Endler (GK), Renard, Carpenter, Bacha, Gilles, Marozsan, Heaps, Egurrola, Dumornay, Diani & Chawinga

Bayern Munich preview: Have to take the game to their hosts
Bayern simply have to put in their best performance of the campaign and hope Lyon play below par if the Germans are to turn this quarter-final tie around on Wednesday night.
The Bayern Munich goalkeeper was forced into seven saves in the first leg, while the Lyon goalkeeper was only troubled once. Lyon put in more tackles, won more interceptions and aerial duels on their way to an easy 2-0 victory last week and now have one foot in the semi-finals.
Predicted lineup: Grohs (GK), Sembrant, Eriksson, Hansen, Gwinn, Zadrazil, Dallmann, Caruso, Harder, Schuller & Buhl

Opened the scoring in the first leg
