Barcelona Women will take on St. Polten Women in the Women's Champions League on Thursday, 21 November with the visitors looking to spring the shock of the century.
St. Polten are yet to pick up a point in the Champions League this season and suffered a humiliating 7-0 loss to Barcelona last week. Can they turn things around and produce something special on Thursday?
Barcelona, meanwhile, are currently in second position and a win here could see them open up a six-point gap over Hammarby in third.

St. Polten Women vs Barcelona Women prediction: An easy night ahead for the visitors
Key stats

- St. Polten have failed to score in two of their Champions League group matches so far.
- Claudia Pina has scored seven goals in her last seven appearances for Barcelona.
Correct score prediction: St. Polten W 0-4 Barcelona W
While the gulf between the two teams is clear, St. Polten are better than the 7-0 result last week suggests. They should fare better at home, as proven by their narrow defeat to Man City earlier in the season, but Barcelona's attacking qualities should be more than enough to see them score a goal or four on the night.

- HOME: 40/1 (41.00) – 2.4%
- DRAW: 20/1 (21.00) – 4.8%
- AWAY: 1/66 (1.02) – 98.5%

Most recent H2Hs: A second-ever meeting
This will only be the second time that Barcelona Women and St. Polten Women have met with the first meeting coming last week in Catalonia. Given that Barcelona ran out as 7-0 winners, this won't be a match that St. Polten are particularly looking forward to.
St. Polten Women preview: Looking to be competitive once again
Although St. Polten lost 7-0 last weekend, they were previously competing well in Group D. They were particularly impressive in their home match against Man City where they pushed the English side all the way before succumbing to a 3-2 defeat. Can they produce something similar here against Barcelona?
Predicted lineup: Schluter (GK), Krizaj, Klein, Wenger, Mattner-Trembleau, Dubcova, Hillebrand, Mikolajova, Zver, Pekel & Brunnthaler

Player to watch: Alexia Putellas
Alexia Putellas may not be the player she was when she became a two-time Ballon d'Or winner but the midfielder is still a potential matchwinner for Barcelona on any given day. She netted her 199th goal for Barcelona at the weekend, taking her past Luis Suarez in the overall standings for the club's highest goalscorers. Can she sprinkle more of her magic on this fixture?
