Thursday’s football tips: Lyon Women appeal at evens to win both halves against Wolfsburg

The quarter-final action continues in the Women's Champions League tonight and Lyon have some work to do against Wolfsburg in France.

The French giants were heavy favourites for last week's first leg but Wolfsburg upset the odds to carve out a 1-0 lead.

That will give the German side hope but it's hard to shake the feeling that advantage won't be enough as Lyon bid to turn things around on home soil.

Lyon Women vs Wolfsburg Women top betting tips

Lyon won all three home fixtures in the revamped league phase of the Champions League this season, including a 3-1 victory over Wolfsburg.

So it's no great surprise to see them as 1/8 favourites tonight, with the French side also just 2/11 to qualify.

It's hard finding value at those prices but backing Lyon to win both halves does boost the odds to evens at SkyBet.

Lyon's forwards are also odds-on for anytime scorer but midfielder Melchie Dumornay is 5/4 at BetMGM to add to her four-goal Euro tally this term.

Barcelona Women vs Real Madrid Women

The other quarter-final tie is pretty much done and dusted after Barcelona romped to a 6-2 win over Real Madrid in last week's first leg.

That match was in Madrid so it looks like mission impossible for Real as they head to Catalonia for the return.

Los Blancos are a whopping 25/1 at Bet365 for a win on the night while Barca's best price is just 1/8 at StarSports.

Those odds seem fair enough, especially with Barcelona also beating their rivals 3-0 away from home in the league on Sunday.

A huge crowd is expected at the Nou Camp so I doubt if the Catalan side will take their foot off the gas.

Ewa Pajor netted twice in the first leg and she's 19/5 at BetMGM to score two more goals tonight.

Thrills are usually guaranteed with Barca so I also like the 21/20 on offer at Bet365 for BTTS and over 2.5 goals.

Wigan Athletic vs Leyton Orient

There's a huge game at the foot of League One tonight as Wigan Athletic and Leyton Orient look to ease their relegation worries.

The Latics sit just two points above the drop zone but a win tonight would lift them above Burton Albion and to within a point of Orient in 17th place.

Gary Caldwell has done a decent job since returning to his old club and Wigan's home form has been good, winning four of their last five.

But they're up against an Orient side who are flying right now, with four wins and a draw in their last five.

That makes tonight's clash a tricky one to call and the half-time draw looks the safest option at 23/20 with William Hill.

BTTS has failed to land in the last four meetings and Leyton Orient drew 0-0 with Exeter at the weekend. So betting against both teams scoring could pay off tonight at 19/20 with Bet365.
