Barcelona Women vs Hammarby Women Prediction and Betting Tips | October 16th 2024

Barcelona Women welcome Hammarby Women to Estadi Johan Cruyff for a UEFA Women's Champions League fixture on Wednesday (October 16th). The hosts prepared for this game with a comfortable 7-1 thrashing of local rivals Espanyol in the Liga F.

They went into the break behind after Simona Botero's 20th-minute strike. However, a second half rout saw the Blaugrana score seven goals in the final 31 minutes. Half-time substitutes Ewa Pajor and Alexia Putellas scored a hat-trick and brace, respectively while Aitana Bonmati and Claudia Pina scored a goal each to secure the big win.

Hammarby, meanwhile, saw off Vittsjo with a comfortable thrashing of their own. Vilde Hasund scored a first half brace to set them on their way to victory while Emma Westin, Julie Blakstad, Ellen Wangerheim and Smilla Vallotto also scored in the 6-0 bashing.

Hammarby's opening game of the Women's Champions League saw them claim a 2-0 home win over St. Polten. Barcelona fell to a 2-0 defeat away to Manchester City.

Barcelona Women vs Hammarby Women Prediction

Barcelona are two-time defending champions of this competition and are heavy favorites to make it a three-peat. However, the Catalans suffered a rare defeat last time out and will be seeking an immediate response.

Hammarby face the daunting task of trying to leave Spain with a positive result. The Stockholm outfit are defending Swedish champions but have struggled to live up to that in the league this term. However, they have started life well in the Women's Champions League.

There is too much gulf in class between these two sides to expect anything other than a resounding victory for the hosts.
