Barcelona Femení come into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat rivals Real Madrid in the Primera División Femenina. The loss did not matter in terms of winning the league title but a defeat to a rival is never acceptable and Barcelona Femení were 2-0 down at half time. They came out in the second half and scored the only goal but it was not enough to avoid defeat.
Trends show Barcelona Femení are undefeated in 22 of their 23 most recent fixtures in all competitions. They have won 20 of those 23 matches, which is a tremendous record but only 3 of their last 6 games.
In terms of the Champions League Women, Barcelona Femení are undefeated in their last 6 matches. There have been wins over Rosengard and Roma at home plus Benfica, Roma, and Chelsea away.
Barcelona Femení have not been beaten in 18 of their 21 most recent matches in the Champions League Women and they have scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 11 Champions League games.
Wolfsburg Women come into the match having beat Freiburg 2-1 at home in the Frauen Bundesliga last weekend. Having opened the scoring in the 8th minute, Freiburg equalised in the 35th minute.
However, the scoring was not finished in the first half and Wolfsburg Women got their second on the stoke of half time to seal maximum points. However, with Bayern Munich winning it was not enough to win the title.
Wolfsburg Women are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 fixtures in all competitions. They have won 5 of their 6 most recent games, including each of their last 3 matches.
Focusing on the Champions League and Wolfsburg Women are undefeated in their last 11 games. They have won 3 of their last 5 fixtures in the competition, beating St Polten, PSG, and Arsenal away, the latter of which required extra-time.
Trends show Wolfsburg Women have scored in each of their last 5 Champions League fixtures.
Team news and Barcelona Femení have some injury concerns ahead of the match. Alexia Putellas is back after a long term injury but may not be fit enough to play the whole game. Lucy Bronze, Caroline Graham Hansen, Asisat Oshoala, and Fridolina Rolfö are all doubts.
Wolfsburg Women will start with experienced striker Alex Popp in attack, who has recently returned from injury. Lena Lattwein should also be fit having suffered from a broken collarbone.
This should be a highly entertaining final with two teams who know how to score goals. We expect to see both teams find the back of the net but it is difficult to split them.
The game could end level after 90 minutes meaning extra-time and the possibility of a penalty shootout to decide the winner.
