Barcelona Women v Paris FC Women Prediction: 11/10 hosts to rack up the goals

Reigning champions Barcelona Women will look to prove that they are still the team to beat when they host Paris FC Women in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

Pere Romeu's team got their hands on the trophy last season after hammering OL Lyonnes 4-0 in May.

Since then, a whopping 17 players have moved on to pastures new, but nine arrivals has eased the pressure on Romeu.

Barcelona Women have started the domestic campaign with four straight wins, and despite the upheaval, they are the overwhelming favourites to beat Paris FC Women.

The French club reached the knockout phase play-offs last season before losing 5-2 on aggregate to Real Madrid Women.

They were beaten 2-0 by their hosts in last season's league phase and they look set for another tough night at the office this time around.

Barcelona Women v Paris FC Women

Barcelona Women v Paris FC Women Prediction

Best Bet: Barcelona Women -4 @ 11/8

Barcelona Women will fancy their chances of a fifth European title this summer and they will be starting afresh after the departures of key players including Alexia Putellas, Mapi Leon, Ona Batlle, Salma Paralluelo and Giulia Dragoni.

The club's board added firepower to the attack with the signing of former Manchester City forward Kerolin and they have made a stunning start to the new campaign.

Barcelona Women have won four successive league games, scoring four goals or more in each and they can back that up in this European encounter.

They beat Paris FC Women 2-0 last season, but the French club were thumped 7-1 by OL Lyonnes earlier this month.

OL Lyonnes also ended last season with a 5-0 win over the visitors, which bodes well for the hosts, as they beat OL Lyonnes 4-0 in last year's UEFA Women's Champions League final.

Home advantage is also a bonus as Barcelona Women have scored four goals or more in 11 of their last 13 matches at Estadi Johan Cruyff in all competitions.

A home win looks inevitable and all signs point to Barcelona Women starting the competition in style.

Alternative Bet: Over 12 corners @ 1/1

With a one-sided battle expected, there is every chance we witness a game with plenty of corners.

Barcelona Women have won 10 or more corners in each of their four games in the league this season, while they reached the same number in their last game against Paris FC Women.

The Spanish giants had more than 70 per cent possession during that clash in December, which should only increase on home soil, so expect the set-piece count to climb rapidly.

  • Caroline Hansen to score any time

  • Claudia Pina to score any time

    Pays 21/10

Barcelona Women scored 20 goals in last season's UEFA Women's Champions League, which was the joint-most alongside Chelsea.

Romeu has a wealth of options at his disposal for this clash and some of Barcelona Women's big hitters are likely to step up to the challenge.

Claudia Pina has scored five goals from 16 shots this season, with eight of her efforts hitting the target.

Ewa Pajor finished last season as the top scorer in the UEFA Women's Champions League with 11 goals, and the forward can notch her second goal of the campaign.

Caroline Hansen has been in fine form, having scored three goals, while she has also registered five assists in four appearances.

All three players should get ample opportunities to score and in what should be a one-sided affair, they can get on the scoresheet.
