Real Madrid Women vs Eintracht Frankfurt Women Prediction
Real Madrid finally got their domestic campaign on track with their win last weekend, having started the season with two winless games. They will aim to build on that to secure qualification for the Women's Champions League group stage for the fifth successive season.
Eintracht Frankfurt started their season with a comprehensive 5-0 home win over SGS Essen. However, they are winless in two games since then and have to overturn a one-goal deficit if they are to advance from this tie. The Germans are one of the most successful sides in this competition, having triumphed four times in the past. However, they have made it to the group stage just once in the last nine seasons.
We expect the home side to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
