Lyon will take on PSG on Saturday, 5am AEST in the Final of the Division 1 Feminine Playoffs. Lyon go into the game as heavy favourites after they finished ten points clear of PSG on the regular season table. However, they know from experience this season that they are vulnerable in any one-off game, and won't take it for granted. Ellie Carpenter will be available for Lyon.

United States
The Portland Thorns travel to take on the Houston Dash on Saturday, 10am AEST. A win for Portland could see them rise as high as second, while Houston will be looking to place themselves in the top eight. Kaitlyn Torpey will be available for the Thorns while Mackenzie Arnold will be ruled out due to injury.
North Carolina Courage host Chicago Stars on Sunday, 7am AEST. Chicago are currently bottom of the table while the Courage are unbeaten in three – however, the NWSL is famously unpredictable, and it is difficult to get a read on who is the favourite for this one. Cortnee Vine will be available for the Courage.
Angel City FC will take on Bay FC on Sunday, 12pm AEST. Angel City have won their previous two games and will come into this game full of confidence as they hope to finish the round as high as second with a win. Alanna Kennedy will be available for Angel City.
