The lineup for the UEFA Women's Champions League final at Fulham FC's Craven Cottage on 26 May will be decided this weekend – with a repeat of last season's decider a possibility.

The inaugural season of the rebranded former UEFA Women's Cup concluded with the new one-off final at Getafe and 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam defeated Olympique Lyonnais on penalties. Both are in a good position to get through again following last Saturday's first legs.

Lyon are nicely set up for their semi-final return at Arsenal LFC's Meadow Park on Saturday afternoon home having won 2-0 in front of more than 20,000 fans at Stade de Gerland, Lotta Schelin scoring twice. Potsdam, meanwhile, welcome German rivals FCR 2001 Duisburg on Sunday having drawn the first leg 2-2 – last year Turbine knocked out the then holders on penalties at this stage.

Tickets for the UEFA Women's Champions League final at Craven Cottage in west London are on sale now priced at £3 for under-16s and £5 for adults.
