Galatasaray Women and AS Roma Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League clash on Thursday (October 17th). The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to arch-rivals Fenerbahce in the Turkish Women's Super Lig.

Umran Ozev and Yagmur Uraz scored late second half goals to help the Canaries claim maximum points.

Roma, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Juventus in Serie A Femminile. They were two goals down at the break courtesy of strikes from Barbara Bonansea and Sofia Cantore. Benedetta Glionna pulled one back for the visitors in the third minute of second half stoppage time.

Le Giallorosse will now turn their focus to Europe, where their opening group game saw them claim a 1-0 home win over Wolfsburg. Galatasaray suffered a 3-0 defeat away to Olympique Lyonnais.

The loss left them at the bottom of Group A on zero points. Roma are second on three.

Galatasaray Women vs Roma Women Prediction

Galatasaray won their maiden league title last season and subsequently booked their spot in Europe's premier women's club competition. They successfully navigated three ties to get to the group stage but had a baptism of fire when they made their proper tournament bow last week.

Roma will be aiming to build on their disappointing group stage ouster last season. Alessandro Spugna's side also saw their eight-game unbeaten start to the season end over the weekend.

Both sides tend to score in Roma's games this season and we are backing the Italians to claim a comfortable win.

Prediction: Galatasaray Women 1-3 Roma Women
