Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Women's Champions League match.
The encounter between Twente and Real Madrid last week ended with a decisive victory for the visitors (7:0). Over the weekend, the Madrid players lost in El Clásico to Barcelona (0:4), thereby revealing vulnerabilities in their defence, which the Dutch side might exploit in the return leg.
Twente (women)
In 180 minutes against Real Madrid and Chelsea, Twente conceded a total of 10 goals. Likely, they are focusing on their game against Celtic for the remainder of the group stage, as they do not want to lose the third spot in the group. In Madrid, Twente tried to be active in the opponent's half, taking 13 shots and holding 51% possession.
Real Madrid (women)
Real Madrid had an exceptionally successful start against Twente, as almost every chance resulted in a goal. Out of 12 shots on target, 7 found the net, with attacking midfielder Caroline Weir contributing 1+2 before being substituted in the 57th minute. In El Clásico, they had a dismal first half, conceding three goals—and they are eager to bounce back from that defeat as quickly as possible.
Twente (women) vs Real Madrid (women) Prediction
Bookmakers are confident that the return match between Twente and Real Madrid will once again be high-scoring. Of course, the advantage is with the Madrid team, but they can also be expected to make mistakes.
