The action continues in Group B of the UEFA Women's Champions League as St. Polten Women take on Olympique Lyon Women at the NV Arena on Thursday.
Sonia Bompastor’s side have enjoyed an unbeaten campaign so far and will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the group standings.
St. Polten’s dreams of reaching the Champions League knockout stages came to an end last time out as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Slavia Prague.
The Austrian outfit find themselves rooted to the bottom of Group B, having picked up just one point from their four matches so far.
