Lyon team news

The injury problems don't stop there for Lyon, with Ada Hegerberg, Sara Dabritz, Selma Bacha and Damaris Egurrola all missing in recent weeks.
Zurich vs Lyon score prediction
Lyon are contending with a mountain of injury concerns and are consequently yet to hit their usual heights this season; the French champions suffered a shock 5-1 loss to Arsenal in their opening group stage fixture, were held by Juventus in their second, and have uncharacteristically dropped points in the league.
Despite not being a full-time team, Zurich made it difficult in spells for Arsenal when the two sides met at the Emirates, and briefly made things interesting in the second half after pulling a goal back. However, they are still a side Lyon should be expected to get the better of.
Prediction: Zurich 0-2 Lyon
