💫 UWCL Ones to Watch: Barça's biggest test yet and a six-pointer | OneFootball

Back-to-back weeks with Women’s Champions League football. What a treat!

Here are the games you have to keep an eye on over the next two days.

TSG Hoffenheim v Barcelona

Barcelona are on fire but this is the first real test they face away from home in this year’s competition?

Will it make any difference to the only side to have registered 30+ shots in a Champions League game this group stage? They have, by the way, done that in all three of their fixtures so far.

The reigning champions dominated both Arsenal and Hoffenheim at home but travelling always makes a difference and they will meet a side impressing in Germany: a big 7-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend took Hoffenheim above Bayern Munich in the table.

Barcelona will expect to make yet another statement but it shouldn’t be straightforward.

Wolfsburg v Juventus

A last minute equaliser in Turin kept Juventus in the qualification game at the halfway stage. The Italian giants had already lost at home to Chelsea and the same fate against Wolfsburg could have been fatal.

Instead, a draw against the side topping the table in Germany was a fine result. Juve sit just a point behind Wolfsburg as they head to Germany in a true six-pointer.

For their part, Wolfsburg are on top form, sit second even though games against Juve and Chelsea have both been away from home, and beat German champions Bayern Munich at the weekend.

They also have Tabea Waßmuth on their side; no player has as many as her five Champions League goals so far this season.

Can big names respond?

Women’s football has been led by the French clubs in the recent past. Lyon won the Champions League five years in a row before last season, when they missed out both in Europe and domestically as PSG won the league title.

Both sides have huge aspirations in this season’s competition and underlined them last weekend, with Lyon beating Bayern Munich 2-1 and PSG winning 4-0 against Real Madrid.

Bayern and Madrid are both huge names in the game and are looking to place themselves amongst the favourites for the competition and instantly responding with positive performances and results against the very  best sides from French football would say a lot.
