Roma Women and Galatasaray Women will trade tackles in a UEFA Women's Champions League fixture on Tuesday (December 17th). The game will be played at Stadio Tre Fontane.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-1 comeback away win over Napoli in Serie A Femminile. They went into the break behind to Ginevra Moretti's 17th-minute strike but their hosts were reduced to 10 women when Natalie Muth was sent off for a second bookable offense with 20 minutes left. Manuela Giuliano equalized in the 87th minute while Moeka Minami scored the match-winner in injury time to help the capital side claim all three points.
Galatasaray, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat away to ALG Spor in the Turkish Women's Super League. Jelena Karlicic and Dilan Bora scored either side of Ebru Topcu to help their side secure the win.
Gala will shift their focus to the continent, where their last game saw them suffer a 6-0 thrashing at home to Lyon. Roma also suffered a debilitating defeat of their own, falling to a 6-1 loss away to Wolfsburg.
The loss left them in third spot in Group A with six points to show for their efforts in five games. Galatasaray are bottom on zero points.

Roma Women vs Galatasaray Women Prediction
Roma's defeat to Wolfsburg saw them eliminated from the tournament which is a sad ouster for a campaign that started so well and promised so much. Alessandro Spugna's side will be aiming to sign off on a high.
To say that Gala's debut in the Women's Champions League has been disappointing would be a gross understatement. The Turkish champions have also struggled domestically.
We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
