Benfica Women will host Barcelona Women in a UEFA Women’s Champions League fixture at Benfica Campus on Thursday night. The hosts are currently sitting at the third spot in Group D, with six points to their name from four games, three adrift of Barcelona and Bayern Munich, who occupy the top two positions. The visitors need just a point against the Portuguese outfit to secure a place in the knockouts and they would be confirmed group-winners if they win and Bayern lose to Rosengard in the other Group D match of the day. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of dominant victories in their respective domestic league fixtures in the weekend. The hosts thrashed Valadares 5-0 in a 1a Divisao Women fixture, while Barcelona defeated Alhama 4-0 in a Primera Division match.
