Barcelona vs Benfica Women lineups and latest team news
Barcelona Women
Barcelona won the Champions League last season after edging Wolfsburg 3-2 in the final. The Catalans were again drawn with Benfica in the group stage and they secured two big wins in those matches – 9-0 at home and 6-2 away.
Barca started their new domestic season in great form too. They won 8 out of 8 La Liga matches. Scored 6 or more goals in their last 3 games too. At the same time, the Catalans conceded only 2 goals in those 8 games.
Swedish striker Rolfo continues to nurse an injury she sustained during this summer’s WWC. In her absence, the 19-year-old Salma Paralluelo is grabbing her chance and she’s on fire with 6 goals scored in her last 3 starts.
Predicted Lineup – Panos (GK), Bronze, Paredes, Torrejon, Battle, Pina, Walsh, Bonmati, Brugts, Oshoala & Paralluelo
Benfica Women
Benfica started their domestic season with 6 wins in 6. The competition in Portugal is not the same as it is in the Champions League though. The Eagles struggled in the group stage last season when they lost 4 of 6 games, lost both matches vs Barca and Bayern Munich.
Benfica looked solid in the play-offs though and they reached the group stage again after eliminating Cliftonville, Riga and Apollon Limassol. Won all 4 playoff matches and kept clean sheets in all 4 games.
Spanish striker Falcon is doubtful but even without her Benfica have plenty of firepower.
Predicted Lineup – Pauels (GK), Amado, Seica, Araujo, Alves, Faria, Gasper, Almeida, Nazareth, Clintra & Raysla
