Women's Champions League Preview – Matchday 2 (October 15–16, 2025) – 15. - 16.10. 2025

Valerenga vs Wolfsburg (15.10.2025, 18:45)

Tip: Wolfsburg to win

Valerenga enter the second round after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, where they created several promising chances but lacked the finishing quality to make them count. The Norwegian side can take confidence from last season’s 1-1 home draw with Bayern, proving they can be a difficult opponent on their own turf. Wolfsburg, however, remain one of Europe’s top sides and opened their campaign with a commanding 4-0 victory over Paris SG, even if the scoreline was slightly inflated by two late goals. Their confidence took a minor hit after a 3-1 Bundesliga loss to Bayern at the weekend, but the German champions boast a deeper squad and far greater experience on the biggest stage. Key players such as Alexandra Popp and Lineth Beerensteyn should provide the difference here and guide Wolfsburg to victory.

OL Lyon vs St. Pölten (15.10.2025, 18:45)

Tip: Lyon to win

Lyon underlined their European pedigree in the opening round with an impressive 2-1 away victory over defending champions Arsenal. The eight-time winners strengthened significantly during the summer, and their squad is once again among the strongest in the competition. Against St. Pölten, who suffered a heavy 6-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid last week, Lyon will aim to dominate proceedings and showcase their title credentials once more. The Austrian side continue to struggle defensively and lack the quality to compete at this level, a weakness that is likely to be exploited again here. Given the clear gap in quality and form, a comfortable home win is expected, with Lyon likely to control every aspect of the match.

Chelsea Women vs Paris Women (15.10.2025, 21:00)

Tip: Chelsea Women to win

Chelsea head into their second group stage match with a clear goal – to confirm their status as favourites and finally claim all three points in Europe. After a draw away at Twente and a narrow league victory over Tottenham, it is clear that Sonia Bompastor’s side dominates possession but struggles in front of goal, having scored more than once in just one of their last five matches. A stable defence and a record 31-game unbeaten run in the WSL underline the team’s organisation and mentality, which will be crucial against French opposition. Paris FC may boast an attacking duo of Corboz and Mateo, but blowing a two-goal lead against Leuven and a poor record against elite sides – including two heavy defeats to Chelsea in 2023 – highlight their vulnerability. Defensive absences and a lack of experience in decisive matches could prove costly at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea are particularly strong. Even with several key players missing, the Blues’ squad remains superior and has more players capable of deciding the match in key moments.

Roma Women vs Barcelona Women (15.10.2025, 21:00)

Tip: Barcelona Women to win

Roma bounced back from a heavy 6-2 defeat to Real Madrid with a league win over AC Milan, but their defensive issues remain ahead of a clash with Europe’s most dangerous attacking force. Barcelona are in sensational form after losing last season’s title – eight wins from eight matches, 44 goals scored and only two conceded speaks volumes about their strength. Even without injured striker Ewa Pajor, the team has attacking depth with players like Salma Paralluelo, Caroline Graham Hansen and Claudia Pina. The midfield trio of Bonmatí, Guijarro and Putellas is among the best in the world, dictating tempo and deciding matches with creativity and control. Roma will rely on home support and standout performances from Haavi or Giugliano, but they have already lost twice to Barcelona and now face an even stronger version of their Spanish rivals. The quality gap and current form of both sides make Barcelona the clear favourites to win.

OH Leuven vs Twente (15.10.2025, 21:00)

Tip: Twente to win

OH Leuven showed great resilience in their Champions League debut, coming back from two goals down to claim a point against Paris FC in their first-ever group stage match. That fighting spirit could serve them well going forward, but they now face a significantly tougher challenge. Dutch champions Twente earned a valuable draw against a strong Chelsea side and remain unbeaten in all competitions this season, underlining their strength and consistency. Twente also impressed in qualifying, and their high-pressing, technically superior style should be well-suited to this matchup. If they maintain their current level of performance, they are well positioned to claim all three points and strengthen their position in the group.

Atletico Madrid Women vs Manchester United Women (16.10.2025, 18:45)

Tip: Manchester United Women to win (or Double Chance X2)

Atletico Madrid showed strength in qualifying and in their opening demolition of St. Pölten, but a 6-0 thrashing by Barcelona exposed just how vulnerable they are defensively against top opposition. Brazilian forward Luany, with six goals and four assists, remains their main attacking weapon, but Víctor Martínez’s team still lacks consistency in big games. Manchester United are making their group stage debut but look well prepared – an opening win against Valerenga and a seven-game unbeaten run highlight their growing maturity. Their defence is remarkably solid: they have not conceded more than one goal in any of their 11 competitive matches this season and have kept seven clean sheets. Jess Park is hitting form after a brace against Everton, while Malard and Le Tissier add creativity and threat from set-pieces. Given their tactical discipline, defensive strength and current form, the visitors are well-placed to take points from this difficult trip to Madrid.

Benfica Women vs Arsenal Women (16.10.2025, 21:00)

Tip: Arsenal Women to win

Benfica’s impressive home record helped them qualify automatically for the group stage, but the quality of opposition is on a different level this time. The absence of forward Nycole Raysla is a major blow, as she was a key figure in transitions and finishing. Arsenal’s form has been inconsistent, but their win over Brighton brought much-needed confidence and showed that even without key players like Leah Williamson, they can control matches effectively. Offensive firepower comes from Alessia Russo, Beth Mead and Chloe Kelly, who can decide tight games, while an experienced defensive unit led by McCabe provides stability at the back. Benfica will rely on their home crowd, but their defence often struggles against dynamic attacks, and Arsenal are one of the teams best equipped to exploit those weaknesses. The difference in individual quality and big-game experience should be enough to secure a victory for the English champions.

Bayern Munich vs Juventus (16.10.2025, 21:00)

Tip: Bayern Munich to win

Bayern Munich suffered a heavy 7-1 defeat to Barcelona in their Champions League opener, but bounced back domestically by beating title rivals Wolfsburg 3-1 and remain top of the Frauen-Bundesliga. With attacking stars such as Harder, Bühl, and Schüller, Bayern possess one of the most dangerous forward lines in Europe. Juventus managed a 2-1 victory over Benfica on Matchday 1, but a surprising 0-1 home defeat to Como exposed their inconsistency once again. The Italian champions also tend to struggle away from home against elite opposition, and key absences could weaken them further. Bayern are traditionally dominant at home, especially against Italian sides, and their superior squad depth should make the difference. If they maintain their current form, a home win looks highly likely.

Paris SG vs Real Madrid (16.10.2025, 21:00)

Tip: Real Madrid to win

Paris SG endured a poor start to their Champions League campaign with a 4-0 defeat to Wolfsburg and also lost 1-6 to Lyon in the domestic league, exposing major defensive vulnerabilities. Real Madrid, by contrast, impressed with a 6-2 win over Roma and have continued scoring freely, netting ten goals in their last two matches. The attacking trio of Feller, Redondo, and Caicedo is in superb form and the team is playing with high confidence and cohesion. PSG may improve after a week's preparation, but injuries and defensive instability remain significant concerns. Real are playing with great momentum and currently look like one of the most dangerous sides in the competition. If they maintain their attacking rhythm, they should come away from Paris with all three points.
