Benfica vs Rosengard Women lineups and latest team news
Benfica Women
Expectedly Benfica struggled to oppose defending champions Barcelona in Spain at the start of the group. The Eagles lost 0-5 and never looked in contention after conceding twice very early on.
Benfica still harbour major ambitions to fight for second place in the group and this means they will need to start winning now.
The teams know each other well as they were again drawn into the same group last season. Benfica won both matches vs Rosengard last year (1-0 and 3-1), but both games were close battles.
Striker Gudmundsdottir nurses a minor ankle injury that kept her out of the last 2 matches. She’s doubtful for the coming game. There are no other serious health issues in the squad.
Predicted Lineup – Pauels (GK), Araujo, Seica, Almado, Falcon, Alidou, Gasper, Faria, Nycole, Nazareth & Silva
Rosengard Women
Rosengard opened the group stage with an unfortunate 1-2 home defeat against debutants Eintracht Frankfurt. The Swedish team fell behind early and squandered numerous chances to get back on level terms which proved costly late on.
Rosengard haven’t played any official matches since this game last week as the domestic season in Sweden finished in early November. Rosengard had a disappointing league campaign and they finished outside the top 6.
Backup goalkeeper Cummings is missing the game due to an injury. Key playmaker Holdt (12 goals and 13 assists in the league this season) and the equally important winger Ayinde also threaten to miss as both hadn’t been seen training lately, both are on expiring contracts.
Predicted Lineup – Mukasa (GK), Oling, Obaze, Arnardottir, Wik, Knaak, Schough, Janson, Andersson, Bredgaard & Kadowaki

Player to Watch: Angel Mukasa
Rosengard’s goalie Angel Mukasa will have to play a vital role if the Swedish side want to avoid a defeat in Lisbon. Mukasa kept 6 clean sheets in 11 league starts this season. She produced 5 fine saves in round 1 too, despite conceding twice, so clearly Mukasa’s displays are crucial for Rosengard’s chances.
