FC Twente
Real Madrid Femenino
One of the matches in the 4th round of the Women's Champions League will take place on Wednesday in Enschede, where Dutch club Twente will host Real Madrid. Here's a betting suggestion on the number of goals in this match with a favorable odds value.
Match Preview
After a sensational Eredivisie title win last season, Twente has faced difficulties in the new campaign. The start of the season has been disappointing for the team from Enschede, who have earned only 11 points from six matches and currently sit in fifth place in the league. Their 5-point gap from leaders PSV and Ajax casts doubt on the "Red and Whites" ambitions of repeating last year's success.
In the last round, Twente suffered a narrow 0-2 loss to Ajax. Over their last five matches, the team has collected just 8 points. In their first Women's Champions League match, the Enschede side comfortably defeated Celtic 2-0. However, in the second round, they came up against a strong Chelsea team and were unable to compete, losing 1-3. In the third round, Real Madrid hammered Twente 7-0 on their home turf.
Real Madrid remains in second place in the Spanish women's league, despite consistent results and a drive to improve their position. Barcelona continues to dominate the league, and their 4-0 victory over Madrid last weekend only underlined this.
Earlier, Madrid earned 4 points in two crucial derbies: a 1-0 win over FC Madrid and a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid. In their opening Women's Champions League match, Real Madrid lost 2-3 to Chelsea in a thrilling encounter but quickly bounced back with a 4-0 win over Celtic and a 7-0 thrashing of Twente.
Probable Lineups
- Twente: Clark, Everarts, Carlier, Knol, Tein, Van Ginkel, Van Dooren, De Breuk, Vlieg, Van Dijk, Peddemors
