Olympique Lyon Feminin host Juventus Women at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in the second leg of the UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-final on Thursday.
The first leg fixture in Turin ended in a shock 2-1 loss for Lyon, as substitute Agnese Bonfantini made an instant impact and scored the winning goal just a couple of minutes after stepping onto the pitch.
The seven-time champions will be hoping to outperform the Italian side at home. Lyon had a week's rest to prepare for the game, while Juventus were in action against Inter Milan in Serie A, defeating their rivals 3-1 at home.
The venue for this year's final is the Juventus Stadium, so the Bianconere have the added motivation to hold onto their one-goal advantage.

Olympique Lyonnais Féminin vs Juventus Women Prediction
Lyon will be hoping to avoid a second consecutive exit at this stage of the competition after being eliminated on away goals against Paris Saint-Germain last season. Fortunately, the away goal rule has been abolished from this season.
Lyon have won 16 of their last 17 UEFA Women's Champions League home games and have good odds of securing a win here. They have never lost successive UEFA Women's Champions League matches as well.
Juventus, on their part, have been solid in their travels and have kept a clean sheet in four away games this season. The game is expected to be a closely contested affair and Lyon should be able to make their home advantage count with a win.
Prediction: Olympique Lyonnais Féminin 3-1 Juventus Women
