Paris Women vs Real Madrid Women Preview
Both teams are struggling in Group D after two rounds of games, as they are in search of their first win of the campaign. Paris FC sit bottom and are pointless but will hope to make the most of their home advantage this time to claim maximum points. Their previous home game ended in a 2-1 defeat against BK Häcken.
Paris FC lost their second game against Chelsea 4-1 in an away fixture, which leaves them with a -4 goal difference. Losing a third game in a row would make them look unprepared for this edition. However, they are expected to hold their ground against a less than formidable Real Madrid.
The visitors sit third with one point following a 2-2 draw against Chelsea and a 2-1 loss to BK Häcken, who are top-placed with six points. With four rounds of games still left in the group campaign, Real Madrid stand a chance of progressing to the quarterfinals. However, they need to start making up for the lost points as early as possible.
Las Blancas reached the group stage in the previous edition but the quarterfinal stage remains their best record in the competition. Real Madrid’s main adversaries in the group are BK Häcken and Chelsea but Paris FC could constitute a stumbling block.
