UEFA Women's Champions League Semifinals: Predictions 19/04-20/04

Arsenal Women raised many eyebrows when they completed the comeback against Real Madrid Women in the quarter-final. The Gunners lost 2-0 in Spain but turned the tide around in London following a comfortable 3-0 win over the Spaniards. Now, they take on a stronger opponent in Lyon in the semi-final. Will the Women’s Super League giants advance to the final?

Barcelona Women and Chelsea Women meet again in this competition’s knockout stage, but can the Blues right their wrongs this time, starting from the first leg in Spain?

UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-final predictions: 19/04/2025 - 20/04/2025

Lyon and Arsenal will entertain fans with goals: Arsenal vs Lyon

• Date: 19/04/2025
• Kick-off: 13:30 CET
• Goals are usually scored when both teams meet; we can expect the same from the upcoming game.

The bookies identified Lyon Women as the favourites to advance to the final, but it won't be easy for the visitors. Both teams met during the 2022 season in the group stage, and they shared the wins, with Arsenal thrashing the French side 5-1 in France. When they met in the knockout stage in 2011, Lyon advanced through, winning both legs. Both teams have had their moments in the competition this term, and looking at results in the WUCL this term, three or more goals may be scored in the upcoming game. Five of Arsenal’s eight WUCL games ended with over 2.5 goals, so this encounter may follow suit.

Arsenal Women vs Lyon Women prediction: Total goals – over 2.5

Barcelona to maintain their dominance: Barcelona vs Chelsea 

• Date: 20/04/2025
• Kick-off: 18:00 CET
• Chelsea Women haven’t eliminated Barcelona from the Champions League, but they stand a chance to change that this week.

Barcelona have only lost once to Chelsea in this competition in five attempts, winning three and drawing one. The Blues are under a new manager following the departure of Emma Hayes, but their performances haven’t dropped, as they currently sit at the top of the Women’s Super League standings. Despite their fine form, bookies identify them as the underdogs, and we agree with them, as the Catalans are touted as one of the very best women’s teams in the world. We expect a win from the hosts, with Chelsea expected to push for a comeback in London in the return leg.

Barcelona Women vs Chelsea Women prediction: Home team to win
