If Barcelona Women wins their first game in the 2024-25 Women’s winners League, they will be the defending winners of Europe. On Wednesday, October 16, 21.00, they will play Hammarby Women. After a rough start with a 2-0 loss to Manchester City, Barcelona got back on track with a decisive 7-1 win over Espanyol that showed how good they are at striking. Barcelona has scored 32 goals in six league wins and will want to keep up their good play. The Catalan giants feel even better about their chances because they have won their last nine home group stage games in the Women’s Champions League.
In their inaugural Women’s Champions League season, Hammarby has displayed remarkable resilience and spirit. A prime example is their comeback from a losing position to defeat Benfica and secure a spot in the main draw. Their 2-0 victory over St. Polten to kick off the group stage and their unbeaten streak of five games are further testament to their tenacity. Despite the absence of some key players, their robust defense, which has maintained five consecutive clean sheets, will face a stern test from Barcelona’s potent attack.
This match is poised to be a goal-fest, with both Barcelona and Hammarby consistently finding the back of the net. Given the current form of both teams, the total goal count is likely to exceed 4.5, promising an enthralling and challenging game for all football enthusiasts.
