Paris FC (W)
- Sandrine Soubeyrand’s team have made some waves since she took over in 2018, making the squad very functional and well-suited to a mid-block structure with a focus on transitions, wide overloads and counter-attacks.
- Lorena Azzaro has already netted five goals in 12 Division 1 Women appearances, making her the team’s leading striker.
- Paris FC have scored 16 goals in just six home league games this term, and despite back-to-back defeats on their own patch, they should pose a threat to the visiting champions.
Olympique Lyonnais (W)
- Reigning champions Olympique Lyonnais (W) have won five consecutive matches without conceding and remain unbeaten away in Division 1 Women 2025/2026 after playing five games on the road.
- Jonatan Giráldez has had a transformative impact at the club since taking the helm in June 2025, instilling a Barça-like possession style with relentless high pressing and fluid, interchangeable positions across the pitch.
- OL will look to control the ball for long periods in Sunday’s meeting, with a high-tempo 4-3-3 system allowing their talent to dominate the game with a ruthless efficiency.
- Tabitha Chawinga is the leading scorer for OL with six goals in nine Division 1 Women matches this season.
- OL’s last three matches have seen them dispatch RC Lens (W) 1-0 and Fleury 91 FC (W) 3-0 in the division, alongside a 4-0 Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid (W).
- They sit top of the 2025/26 standings with 36 points from 12 games.

- OL are a much bigger team than Paris FC (W), with their quality and possession likely to force Paris FC to sit compact, but they will have to do it for 90 minutes to stop their opponents.
