- Competition: Women’s Champions League
- Date: 19th March 2025
- Kick-off: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Volkswagen Arena
An intriguing encounter awaits us on Wednesday evening when Wolfsburg and Barcelona meet in the first leg of the UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-finals.
VfL Wolfsburg Women booked their place in the quarter-finals by finishing second in Group A, while the visitors won Group D to reach this stage.
The hosts had the chance to make it three wins in a row for the first time since November when they travelled to Bayern Munich in the women's Bundesliga last weekend. Tommy Stroot's side suffered a blow to their title ambitions as they dropped to third place after a 3-1 defeat.
Barcelona Women are in the form of their lives, with the Spanish giants going into Wednesday's clash full of confidence after winning each of their last nine matches. Pere Romeu's women extended their lead at the top of the Primera Division to seven points with a 2-0 win over Tenerife last weekend, and will be looking for more of the same in Europe this week.
VfL Wolfsburg W vs Barcelona W Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Wolfsburg may have only found the back of the net once in the league against Bayern Munich last weekend, but they have been deadly in front of goal in recent home matches. Tommy Stroot's women scored at least three goals in each of their last seven games at this venue, a run that includes European victories over Galatasaray and Roma in which they scored eleven goals between them.
