Rosengard Women and Benfica Women go head-to-head at the Malmö Idrottsplats in the UEFA Women's Champions League on Thursday.
Filipa Patao’s side head into the game fresh off the back of an emphatic victory in the Women’s Taca de Portugal quarter-finals and will look to build on that result.
Rosengard have endured a disappointing Champions League campaign as they sit rooted to the bottom of Group A, having lost their four matches so far.
This has been owing to their defensive vulnerabilities as they have conceded 16 goals so far, including a staggering 13 in their last two outings.
Rosengard’s last victory dates back to November 11, when they hammered Kalmar 10-2 in the Swedish Women’s top flight.
Benfica, on the other hand, booked their spot in the semi-finals of the Taca de Portugal Feminina last Sunday when they cruised to a 6-0 victory over Famalicao.
This followed a somewhat disappointing 1-1 draw against Racing Power FC in the Portuguese Women’s top flight, where they currently sit top of the table with 28 points from 11 matches.
Benfica now return to action in the Champions League, where they have picked up seven points from four matches to sit second in Group A.
