Wolfsburg Women and Galatasaray Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League clash on Wednesday (November 20th). The game will be played at AOK Stadion.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 3-1 victory over Potsdam in the Frauen-Bundesliga at the same venue over the weekend. They were two goals up at the break courtesy of goals from Lena Lattwein and Lynn Wilms. Lina Vianden halved the deficit with 20 minutes on the clock while Lineth Beerensteyn restored the two-goal advantage in the 88th minute.

The win left the Germans in third place in Group A with three points from three games. Galatasaray are bottom on zero points.

They went into the break with a one-goal deficit from Cansu Kaya's 15th-minute goal. Ebru Topcu, Catalina Usme and Marie Ngah scored second-half goals to put the hosts 3-1 up while Zaynep Kocer pulled one back despite her side being one woman down.
