Predictions for the sixth round of the Women’s Champions League

The group stage of the 2024/25 UEFA Women’s Champions League will end this week with the final round of matches taking place.

Almost every group has already been decided, with Leon, ChelseaReal Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Manchester City Barcelona is already among the athletically qualified. This can lead to some interesting outcomes with little at stake in the majority of matches.

The draw for the quarter-finals and semi-finals is scheduled to be drawn on February 7 in Nyon, with the first round of knockout matches to be held in mid-March. The semi-finals are scheduled to take place in April, followed by the final at Lisbon’s José Alvalade Stadium at the end of May.

But first, the group stage has to be over, so 90min I predicted the outcome of each match in the sixth round…

Neither of these teams will qualify for the playoffs, as they have three points and zero points, respectively. The last meeting ended in a 2-0 away win for Twente, so they will be hoping for a similar result this time around.

For Celtic, this was certainly an upset UEFA Champions League campaign. But after five defeats, the team will be desperate to come out in good shape and record at least one victory. Since they are away from home on this occasion, this can be very difficult.

Prediction: Twente 3-1 Celtic

At the other end of Group B, Chelsea and Real Madrid have already booked their places in the quarter-finals. By Sonia Bombastor He narrowly won the previous meetingBut Chelsea showed glimpses of weakness in their 1-1 draw away to Leicester City in the English Premier League. WSL During the weekend.

The Spanish team has won its last four matches in all competitions, and its only defeat in the last ten matches was against Barcelona. They will be full of confidence heading into Tuesday’s encounter and will be hoping to cause an upset to finish top of the group.

Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Chelsea

The French team Lyon easily leads the first group, and has already qualified for the quarter-finals. On the other hand, Wolfsburg are more likely to finish second due to the huge goal difference required to see Roma advance.

Lyon won the last meeting between these two teams with a score of 2-0, so a similar result can be expected this time. Joe Montemurro’s team also has home-field advantage, which should work to their advantage.

Prediction: Lyon 3-2 Wolfsburg

Roma’s hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage of this year’s Champions League are very weak. While they are likely to pull off comfortable wins against Galatasaray on Tuesday evening, they need a significant goal difference of 17, which is highly unlikely with only one game remaining.

The last time they faced the Turkish side, Roma cruised to a comfortable 6-1 win. Unfortunately, their strong results in their first group matches are unlikely to be enough to qualify them.

Prediction: Roma 6-0 Galatasaray

Both teams have no chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals, but they are determined to finish their journey UEFA Champions League campaigns positively. Hammarby won the last encounter 2-0, but this time St. Pölten have home advantage.

However, the Austrian team is yet to gain any points in the competition this season. Although the match may be close, the visitors are likely to come out on top by a narrow margin.

Prediction: St. Pölten 1-2 Hammarby

Manchester City It shocked the football world In October with a 2-0 win at home to Barcelona to start the group stage competitions. However, the Catalan giants have a chance to finish top of Group D with a win on Wednesday evening due to their superior goal difference.

Gareth Taylor’s side have suffered a number of high-profile injuries, including to the likes of Lauren Hemp, Vivienne Miedema, Khadijah Shaw and Alex Greenwood. They will also be sidelined by a weekend defeat to Everton in the WSL, so it’s hard to see them getting another defeat over Barcelona.

Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Manchester City

Group C is already decided, regardless of what happens this week. For Juventus, they simply want to end the year on a positive note before the winter break.

The same can be said for Valerenga, who have collected just one point in their campaign so far. The Italian club won the first meeting 1-0 last October, and is capable of achieving a similar result this time.

Prediction: Juventus 2-0 Valerenga

Arsenal is a different team to the one that lost comfortably 5-2 to Bayern Munich in the opening round. They have Underwent an administrative changeWith Rene Slegers continuing to take charge on an interim basis, their form has improved dramatically.

With not much to play for, other than top spot in Group C, the result is unlikely to be repeated in October. This will be a tougher test for Bayern, but it wouldn’t be surprising if there was little to separate the two teams.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Bayern Munich
