A year ago, Roma Women suffered a painful 0:4 defeat to Barcelona Women. Barcelona are in fine form again: they thrashed Paris 5:2 last week and now travel to Rome looking for another win.
Roma Women
Unlike their upcoming opponents, Roma Women struggled away to OH Leuven (0:0). It was the only goalless match in the opening round of the Women's Champions League league phase. Roma created 2.06 xG over 90 minutes in Belgium but could not score. They fared better against Sassuolo (3:1) at the weekend, though they cannot regard their start to the European campaign as a success.
Barcelona Women
Like the men's team, Barcelona Women have made a strong winning start to their campaign. They opened the season with six straight victories, scoring fewer than four goals for the first time on Saturday against DUX Logroño (2:0). The gulf in quality has been clear: against Paris, Barcelona had built a commanding lead before half-time, scoring four goals in 25 minutes.
Roma Women vs Barcelona Women Prediction
Since March 2023, Roma Women have lost three consecutive matches to Barcelona Women by an aggregate score of 1:10. In Rome a year ago, Barcelona had created a staggering 5.24 xG by the final whistle. They are capable of producing another performance like that.
