Bayern Munich returns to UEFA Women’s Champions League action today in a league phase match against Norwegian side Vålerenga that is also the FCB Frauen’s final home game of the calendar year.
It’s the
final match of the UWCL league phase. As a reminder, only the top four qualify to the quarterfinals automatically while the next eight play in the first round. Bayern is one of three teams with 10 points from the first five matchdays, but ranked lowest of the three because of goal differential (-2 compared to +6 for each of Juventus and Real Madrid). Results would have to shake out in Bayern’s favor but that is why you play the games.
And in this one, a goal explosion is on order. As many as you can bring.
“Valerenga play in a very organized and compact manner, with a back five and four players in front of them,” Bayern coach José Barcala said in his match preview comments (as captured by FCBayern.com). “It’s difficult to find space between the lines. We’ll need to stay patient and play our positional game at a high tempo. We’ll need to be particularly wary of their dangerous counter-attacking play.”
Prediction: Bayern wins 6-0 to make it a second straight result of that scoreline. Let’s finish the year strong ladies!
It’s Bayern time.
