Wolfsburg Women vs Manchester United Women

Manchester United are aiming to maintain their perfect record in the league phase of the UEFA Women's Champions League when they travel to Wolfsburg on Wednesday.

The Germans are looking a bit off colour at the moment, while the visitors have also stumbled slightly lately. Both teams are showing defensive vulnerability heading into this clash and could be set to serve up goals.

Wolfsburg Women News

Having claimed two wins from their opening three league phase matches, Wolfsburg can be pleased with their campaign so far. However, they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Lyon in their previous fixture.

Wolfsburg will look to build on a 3-1 home victory over Freiburg in a Bundesliga Women fixture, which ended a two-match losing run. However, Stephan Lerch's team have also been a bit erratic at home lately, with three wins and two defeats in their last five matches in front of their fans.

The Germans have no problems in attack, scoring in their last 10 matches across all competitions, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals. However, poor defending remains an issue, having failed to keep a clean sheet in the last eight fixtures on this run.

Manchester United Women News

Manchester United are enjoying a solid start to their league phase campaign, having won their opening three matches. They claimed a 2-1 victory over PSG in their previous fixture, with Melvine Malard and Frodolina Rolfo getting their goals.

Like the hosts, Manchester United have also looked a bit off colour lately, losing two of their last three matches across all competitions. They suffered a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City in a WSL fixture last weekend, although that result came after a run of five straight away wins.

Manchester United have quality going forward and have scored first in their three Champions League matches. However, Marc Skinnier's team are without a clean sheet in their last four matches, with three of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.
