This Wednesday’s Women’s UEFA Champions League game sees Bayern München make the trip to face Juventus at the Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo Lamarmora. This result could have serious implications for both sides as both teams kicked off their campaigns with a win and sit in first and second in the group with three points, meaning one team could lose their current spots.
Both teams have been in flying form Juventus sit top of the Serie A Femminile table with six wins from six games and Bayern are second place in the Frauen Bundesliga after five wins from six. They both started their Champions League campaigns with wins over Vålerenga and Arsenal respectively so adding another three points will be the aim for these sides in this big clash.
Pernille Harder of Bayern München is someone that can definitely swing the tie in her favour, scoring a 13 minute hattrick in the second half of the Arsenal game last week. England international Georgia Stanway could also more than well help Bayern win the match as she is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the game.
Predicted Line-Up: Pauline Peyraud-Magnin; Estelle Cascarino, Emma Kullberg, Martina Lenzini; Barbara Bonansea, Hanna Bennison, Arianna Caruso, Lindsey Thomas; Chiara Beccari, Cristiana Girelli, Sofia Cantore
Six games into the 2024/24 Serie A Femminile season and Juventus Women sit comfortable at the top of the table with a six match winning streak. Those six wins has left them with 18 points, three clear of second place Fiorentina. Goals have not gone amiss for Juve as they have found the back off the net 20 times, the highest in the league and only conceded seven times giving them the best goal difference. Cristiana Girelli and Sofia Cantore have contributed to six of those goals, scoring three each and they will look to put their names on the scoresheet against Bayern on the big stage.
They might be five time winners of the Serie A Femminile and four time winners of the Supercoppa Italina but they have never manage to win the UEFA Women’s Champions League. The furthest they have ever reached was back in the 2021/22 season where they got all the way to the Quarter Finals before being eliminated by eventual winners Lyon. Juventus will obviously look to amend that so a win in this game would see them in a much better position in the group, top.
Predicted Line-Up: Maria Grohs; Giulia Gwinn, Linda Sembrant, Glodis Perla Viggosdottir, Tuva Hansen; Sarah Zadrazil, Georgia Stanway; Klara Bühl, Jovana Damnjanovic, Pernille Harder; Lea Schüller
Six games into the 2024/24 Frauen Bundesliga season and Bayern München Women sit in second place in the table after a slip up loss to VfL Wolfsburg last week. They have amassed 15 points from those six games, but the loss sees them just a point behind current leaders Eintracht Frankfurt. Goals have not been a problem for Bayern so far. Despite not having the highest goals scored, they have still bagged 18. Star Pernille Harder leads the way with four goals but Georgia Stanway, Schüller and Klara Bühl have all scored three times each, as well as centre back Linda Sembrant picking up two goals.
Like Juventus, Bayern have not yet won the UEFA Women’s Champions League, but they have reached the Semi-Final stage on two previous occasions back in the 2018/19 and the 2020/21 seasons. However, they have entered the “Group of Death” with strong sides of Arsenal, Juventus and Vålerenga so getting out of the group as winners will be a tough task, especially with this match against Juventus.
These sides have never met before so neither team holds the advantage over one another. They will play each other once more in Group C on the 12th of December but until then, it is a mystery on who could come out on top.
Both teams have a great chance of winning this match, maybe even the possibility of a draw. Nevertheless, Bayern were able to thrash a historically good side in Arsenal 5-2 in the first week of the competition so Juventus should be a challenge for them either.
For that reason, our betting experts have gone with Bayern München Women To Win as our best value tip for this game.
Odds of 1/1 mean that a £10 bet has the potential to return up to £20 in this match.
(odds subject to change)
Juventus Women 1-3 Bayern München
Bayern dismantled a strong Arsenal side, and we can see them doing the exact same thing again but to Juve this time. They won’t make it easy for them though and with Girelli playing well, we can see Juventus scoring at least once against Bayern.
