Hammarby IF v FC Barcelona - UEFA Women — FC Barcelona Women host Manchester City Women on Tuesday

Barcelona Women and Manchester City Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League clash on Wednesday (December 18th). The game will be played at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 away win over Valencia in the Spanish Liga F. Fridolina Rolfo's 54th-minute penalty settled the contest.

Manchester City, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Everton in the Women's Super League. Lucy Hope and Honoka Hayashi scored to put the Merseyside outfit two goals up at the break while Mary Fowler pulled one back from the spot in the 89th minute.

The Mancunians will now shift their attention to Europe, where their last game saw them secure a routine 2-0 home win over St. Polten. Barcelona claimed a 3-0 away win over Hammarby.

The win saw the Catalans remain in second spot in Group D with 12 points to show for their efforts in five games. Manchester City lead the way on 15 points.

Barcelona Women vs Manchester City Women Prediction

Barcelona will have their sights set on gaining revenge for their shock defeat in the reverse fixture. The Blaugrana have been on an emphatic run of form since that loss in Manchester and a three-goal win here would see them secure top spot in the group stage for the fourth season running.

Manchester City, on the other hand, need only a point to secure top spot. Gareth Taylor's side will be looking to bounce back from their surprise defeat in the league over the weekend.

We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
