On Wednesday, October 9, Manchester City Women will host Barcelona Women in the first round of the UEFA Women's Champions League. The match is scheduled to start at 21:00 Central European Time, with the prediction and betting tips prepared by Dailysports analysts.
Manchester City Women
The Manchester City women's team had an incredible last season, battling for the English Super League title until the final match. However, Chelsea secured the championship based only on a better goal difference, with both teams tied at 55 points.
In the new Super League season, only three matches have been played so far, and City sits at the top of the table with 7 points. They drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the opening round before defeating Brighton (1-0) and West Ham (2-0).
In the Champions League qualifiers, Manchester City faced a tough opponent in PSG, but the English runners-up made quick work of them. City triumphed 5-0 away and 3-0 at home.
Barcelona Women
Barcelona's women's team, featuring Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmatí, has been dominating European football recently. Barcelona won the last two Champions League titles and also triumphed in the 2020/21 season.
In the Spanish Primera, Barcelona has no equals either. Last season, they won 29 out of 30 matches, only dropping points in a 1-1 draw against Levante. This season, Barcelona has won all five matches, boasting a goal difference of +22. In their last game, they crushed Madrid 8-1, and before that, they demolished Granada 10-1.

Manchester City Women vs Barcelona Women prediction
Even Manchester City may not be able to stop this Barcelona side. As usual, expect a high-scoring game from the Catalans. My bet is on over 2.5 goals (TБ2,5).
