- Competition: UEFA Women's Champions League

- KO: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CEST
- Venue: Centro Deportivo Wanda
UEFA Women's Champions League action returns to the Centro Deportivo Wanda on Thursday evening as Atletico Madrid Femenino takes on Manchester United Women.
A competitive encounter is expected with Man Utd Women narrow favourites to claim victory in Madrid this week.
Atletico kicked-off their UCL campaign with a dominant win against St Polten, while United claimed a narrow 1:0 victory against Valarenga in their opener last week and both teams will be keen to build on their solid start to the competition.
Atletico Madrid Femenino team overview
Atletico Madrid Femenino turn their attention to Champions League business after a disastrous 6:0 home defeat against Barcelona in the Liga F Moeve last weekend. Four goals conceded in the second period ensured a miserable day at the office for Victor Martín's side.
Before that dismal defeat, Atletico had enjoyed a nine-game unbeaten start to the season across all competitions. Picking up six wins and three draws, the Spaniards remain a serious threat despite their surprisingly heavy defeat against Barcelona.
Usually a reliable choice to get on the scoresheet, Atletico scored at least one goal in 14 of 15 matches before last weekend's reversal at the Centro Deportivo Wanda.
Head coach Martin could make some changes from the side that slumped to defeat against Barcelona. Julia Bartel and Synne Jensen are among those who could earn recalls to the first XI.

Manchester United Women team overview
Manchester United Women arrive in Spain in great form with the English visitors now unbeaten in seven matches after a thrilling 4:1 win against Everton last weekend.
Trailing at the interval, the Red Devils found their shooting boots in the second period with four goals in a superb 27-minute spell securing a fine victory at Goodison.
Unbeaten in seven games, with five wins and two draws picked up in the last month, United kicked off their UCL campaign with a hard-fought 1:0 win against Valarenga last week.
Much like the home side, Marc Skinner's side are usually a reliable choice to get on the scoresheet. Man Utd scored at least one goal in 14 of their last 16 matches.
Head coach Skinner is likely to make at least one change to his first XI this. Jessica Park is tipped to earn a recall after scoring twice in her substitute appearance against the Toffees.

Prediction
Both teams can usually be relied upon to score, and I expect both to net in a competitive Champions League contest.
BTTS is my first pick, while I also expect the spoils to be shared in Madrid.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Atletico Madrid have scored at least 1 goal in 14 of their last 16 matches
- Manchester United have scored at least 1 goal in 14 of their last 16 matches
- Manchester United have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 matches
