The action continues in Group C of the UEFA Women's Champions League when AS Roma Women and Bayern Munich Women lock horns at Stadio Tre Fontane on Wednesday.
With just three points separating first and last in the group, both sides head into the game knowing victory is essential in their quest for a place in the knockout stages.
AS Roma were left empty handed yet again as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Inter Milan in the Women’s Serie A last Saturday.
Alessandro Spugna’s side have now lost four of their last five matches across all competitions, a run which has seen them crash out of the Coppa Italia courtesy of a 2-0 defeat to Napoli on January 16.
Roma now turn their attention to the Champions League, where they are currently rock-bottom in Group C, having picked up four points from their four matches so far.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, saw their unbeaten run in the Champions League come to an end in their final game of 2023 as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Dutch powerhouse Ajax.
Alexander Straus’ side were in action for the first time this year two Fridays ago, when they hammered Granada 4-0 in a friendly at the Pinatar Arena Football Center.
With five points from a possible 12, Bayern are currently fifth in Group C of the Champions League, just two points behind first-placed Ajax.
