Barcelona Women host Brann Women on Thursday — Barcelona host Brann on Thursday.

Barcelona and Brann trade tackles in the second leg of their UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinal on Thursday (March 28).

The hosts are coming off a comfortable 3-0 El Clasico win at arch-rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Liga F. Fridolina Rolfo, Aitana Bonmati and Graham were among the scorers.

Brann, meanwhile, will look to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit following a home loss last week. Graham and Salma Paralluelo scored either side of Cecilie Kvamme to help the Spanish side leave with the win.

The winner of this tie face AFC Ajax Amsterdam or Chelsea in the semifinal next month.

Barcelona Women vs Brann Women Prediction

Barcelona hold a narrow advantage in the tie but would have expected to have had a more comfortable margin heading into the second leg. The Blaugrana followed up their continental exploits by thrashing Real Madrid and will be full of confidence heading into a game they are expected to win.

Brann, meanwhile, are participating in the knockout rounds of the Champions League for the first time. The Norwegian side held their own in the first leg despite being highly inexperienced at this level. They are also well-rested, having been given the weekend off in the new Toppserien season.

Barcelona's 34-game unbeaten start to the season has left them well-primed for a treble, and this run is unlikely to be threatened here. Expect the hosts to cruise to a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.

Prediction: Barcelona Women 4-0 Brann Women
