Manchester City Wom vs Barcelona Won prediction 09.10.2024 | Champions League Women

• Competition: Champions League Women
• Date: Wednesday, 9th October 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Academy Stadium (Manchester)

The women's section of Manchester City is not on the level of the men's part of the team. They have won only one title in the English national league so far, while for the last two years, Manchester City wasn't even a part of the Champions League. However, things certainly improved, as Gareth Taylor's team won two matches against Paris FC and qualified for the most elite European competition. 

Manchester City are in good form as they won four of the last five matches. In the previous game, they won 2-0 at home against West Ham. That was another good performance from Manchester City as they finished the match with 70% ball possession and 18 shots on the goal. 

For the last few seasons, Barcelona have been the best team in women's football. They won three of the last four Champions League titles and are certainly the main candidate for another. Barcelona started the 2024/25 season with five wins from five matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 8-1 on the road against Madrid CFF. Interestingly, the home side had a lead after the first 45 minutes, but Barca scored eight goals in the second half and routinely secured another big victory. 

Manchester City vs Barcelona pick: Over 2.5 goals

Both teams are in good attacking form. Manchester City scored 13 goals in five matches in the new season, while Barcelona scored 26 in the same number of games. We should expect at least three goals on Wednesday night in Manchester.
