Lyonnes by the numbers

Lyonnes have been relentless in 8 matches: 22 scored, only 6 conceded, and 4 clean sheets. They’ve fired 218 shots, 67 on target, and won 87 corners, a clear set-piece signal. Their duel win rate sits at 54.46%, and they dominate in the air at 61.45% aerial success.
They have allowed just 45 shots and 20 on target all campaign, which explains why their goalkeepers have made only 14 saves. In build-up, 2,707 accurate passes in the opposition half at 83.91% highlight how often Lyonnes lock teams in.
The Sofascore Ratings are telling: Wendie Renard at 7.93, Selma Bacha 7.84, Melchie Dumornay 7.74, and Damaris Berta Egurrola 7.36. It is balance from back to front.

Where this semifinal could tilt

– Wide lanes: Beth Mead vs Selma Bacha on Arsenal’s right is pure quality on both sides of the ball. McCabe’s overlaps must deal with Kadidiatou Diani’s speed the other way.
– Box presence: Russo’s movement will test Renard, Lyonnes’ aerial anchor. Both teams have 5 headed goals, so delivery and timing in the area matter.
– Middle control: Mariona Caldentey’s 507 accurate passes, 25 tackles and 18 interceptions reflect two-way influence. Egurrola’s steady 7.36 Sofascore Rating suggests Lyonnes have their own metronome.
– Restart battle: Lyonnes’ 87 corners vs Arsenal’s 51 hints at volume, but Arsenal’s cross accuracy (36.14%) is the higher of the two team profiles. Small details on first contacts could swing it.

Arsenal Stadium will be tight, loud, and tactical. Track live momentum, player heatmaps, and every Sofascore Rating swing on Sofascore as the semifinal unfolds.
