Fight for Qualification and Pride in the UWCL: Accumulator Tip for December 17

It is going to be an interesting atmosphere across Europe as the UEFA Women’s Champions League continues. While some have already confirmed their places in the next round, some are still looming and waiting for fate to decide their qualifications. Real Madrid will hope to get revenge against Chelsea at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano, AS Roma will sit at home to battle Galatasaray in their race for qualification, while already qualified Lyon will hope to continue their perfect run against Wolfsburg at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais. Let’s check the analyses of the games and acca odds below.

Both Real Madrid and Chelsea have already picked up the two tickets in Group B, and I don’t see pressure on either side, but the battle for who will lead the group is still very active, and for me, that will unleash the offensive side of both teams.

Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw in their last game against Leceister in the league and will now shift their attention back to the Champions League, where they have won all the games played so far. They have won 14 and drew 1 of their last 15 games in all competitions. However, Real Madrid have enjoyed four straight wins coming into this game and have won 8 of their last nine games.

Guro Reiten has gone four games without a goal and will be eager to regain her scoring touch. Mayra Ramirez has made just two goal contributions in her last five games. I believe these two players are still dangerous in front of goal despite their recent goal drought and are always ready to do damage to any team they meet. However, Real Madrid’s forward Signe Bruun is in great form currently, having scored seven goals in her last five games and has three more assists to her name during this period. So, despite Chelsea being the favorite here, I will stick with the goal market due to the exceptional performance of these players. Moreover, the reverse fixture of this game ended 3-2 at the Stanford Bridge.

AS Roma will continue their fight for a place in the next round, sitting third in Group A with 6 points. They enter this game on the back of a 6-1 loss to Wolfsburg, but they are confident of getting a win here because they recorded a 6-1 victory over the Turkish side back in Istanbul. Now that they are home, I expect the goals to come in as much as possible. Galatasaray's defense is in shambles, conceding at least three in each of their five games played in the Champions League. They have conceded 25 goals in total while scoring just one.

While Roma winger Emilie Haavi will likely miss this game, Valentina Giacinti will get support from both Benedetta Glionna and Giulia Dragoni from the wings. So, I expect a rain of goals in this game.

• Over 3.5

Lyon have been perfect in all their games in Europe this season with 15 maximum points and have already confirmed their place in the next round. However, Wolfsburg still have much to do to secure a playoff berth because they are just three points above AS Roma on the table. While Lyon have qualified, I still expect them to win this game. They have won 19 and drawn one of their last 20 games in all competitions. Although they are well organized at the back, keeping a clean sheet in 13 of their previous 15 games, I still expect them to concede in this game because Wolfsburg will be out to get at least a point. Moreover, Wolfsburg’s Beerensteyn will be looking to continue her impressive form in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in 18 competitive games this season.
