Wolfsburg Women and AS Roma Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League clash on Wednesday (December 11th). The game will be played at AOK Stadion.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 1-0 defeat they suffered away to Bayer Leverkusen in the Frauen-Bundesliga. Cornelia Kramer's 47th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Roma, meanwhile, claimed a 2-1 comeback home win over Como in Serie A Femminile. They went into the break behind thanks to Julia Karlenas' 10th-minute strike but Lucia Di Guglielmo and Valentina Giacinti scored second-half goals to ensure Manuela Giugliano's 72nd-minute missed penalty was redundant.
Le Giallorosse will shift their focus to the continent, where their last game saw them suffer a 4-1 defeat away to Lyon. Wolfsburg's last game came in a 5-0 thrashing of Galatasaray at home.
The respective results left both sides tied on six points apiece in Group A.

Wolfsburg Women vs Roma Women Prediction
Wolfsburg and Roma were tipped to battle for second spot in this group behind Lyon when the draws were made. This has proven to be the case after four games and the result here could decide who qualifies for the knockout round behind the French champions.
Wolfsburg have been the more consistent side but will be smarting from their defeat over the weekend. Roma have a more favorable final-day game against strugglers Galatasaray and a point here could be enough to see them through.
