Brann Women will welcome Lyon Women to Bergen for a UEFA Women's Champions League clash on Thursday (December 21st).
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to Lyon in the reverse fixture. Kadidiatou Diani scored a brace, with her goals coming either side of Ada Hegerberg's 23rd-minute strike to inspire the victory.
Lyon, meanwhile, followed up their continental victory with another 3-1 away victory over Fleury 91 in the Division 1 Feminine on Saturday. Ewelina Kamczyk gave the hosts a shock lead in the 32nd minute but Damaris Wineke drew the game level in the 43rd minute. Ada Hegerberg and Lindsey Horan added second half goals to help their side complete the comeback.
Les Fenottes will now turn their focus to the continental competition, where they currently occupy top spot in Group B with maximum points garnered from three games. Brann are second with six points to their name.
