FC Zurich will welcome Olympique Lyon to the Wefox Arena on matchday three in the UEFA Women's Champions League on Thursday (November 24).
The hosts have not been in action since a 3-0 home win over Aarau in the Swiss Women's Super League two weeks ago. All three goals came in the first half, with Fabienne Humm's brace coming either side of Kim Dubs' strike.
Lyon, meanwhile, secured a narrow 1-0 home win over Le Havre in the French Women's Division 1. Lindsey Horan's 49th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams.
The French giants will now turn their attention to the continent as they seek to defend their Champions League crown.
Their title defence has got off to a poor start, as they find themselves in third spot in Group C, having garnered just one point from two games. Zurich, meanwhile, are languishing at the bottom of the standings with no points.

Zurich Women vs Lyon Women Prediction
Lyon find themselves in the unfamiliar position of third spot and are off the pace in the race to qualify for the knockouts. The defending champions have a double-header against last-placed FC Zurich, so winning both games could turn the tide in their favour.
Barring an unlikely upset, Lyon should claim a comfortable win.
