Bayern Munich W vs Manchester United W prediction 01.04.2026 | Champions League Women

Bayern Munich are a dominant force in German women's football. After three consecutive Bundesliga titles, they are on the course to another, as Bayern have 13 points more than the next team on the standings, Wolfsburg. Also, Jose Barcala's team seems unstoppable right now with 12 wins in a row across all competitions. Last weekend, Bayern won 2-0 at home against Nurnberg. The head coach, Jose Barcala, rotated the starting lineup, but they still dominated and probably deserved to score one or two more goals.

Bayern won at Old Trafford, but Jose Barcala's statement after that game suggests that his team will not get complacent for the second leg, too. He said, "We've only achieved 50% – only the first half [of the quarter-final] has been played. Now it will come down to the details. It will be very testing, so we need the energy from our fans."

The English WSL seems challenging every season, and Manchester United will have big problems remaining among the top three teams and securing another Champions League appearance. Currently, they are fourth, and every point seems precious. However, Manchester United's form doesn't provide enough confidence as the Red Devils have won only once in the last six matches. In the previous game, they lost 3-0 at home against Manchester City. That was another poor performance from Marc Skinner's team, which now has to travel to Munich for another tough game.

Manchester United's manager, Marc Skinner, tried to give an explanation for the heavy defeat in the city derby. He said, "We're limited (because of) the amount of games we've had. I think that the players are giving you all they've got. So, we're making uncharacteristic mistakes because of fatigue. If we're energised today, I think we take the game to City. It just fell too close to that (Bayern) turnaround."
