In the sixth round of the Women's Champions League, Benfica W and Paris Saint-Germain W meet in a first-ever fixture that carries little competitive importance. Both sides have already been eliminated from contention for the knockout phase, having won just one point from their first five matches.
Let's break down the match and find the best possible bet for this Women's Champions League tie.
Benfica W team overview
Benfica W are the best Women's Portugal team, having won five consecutive titles from 2020/21 through 2024/25. This year, while they are once again looking like the best team in Portugal, Benfica W have struggled in the CL. Thus far, after seven rounds in the Portugal Liga BPI Women, Benfica W won 19 points - already five points above the second-placed Sporting CP W.
However, in the Women's Champions League, the Eagles lost four of the five games, earning their only point against Twente W. Still, if we compare this season with the previous one, we can say this one was a mild success, as they failed to reach the main phase last year. Nevertheless, the Eagles cannot be satisfied with their CL campaign this year.
After a 2:0 win over Damaiense W in the previous game, coach Ivan Baptista spoke to the media. He was happy with accomplishing their main goal - advancing to the next stage of the Taça de Portugal. The coach also added that they gave more playing time to backup players, to keep their key players fresh for the PSG W game.

PSG W team overview
After PSG W won the Ligue 1 (Division 1 Feminine) title in the 2020/21 season, they finished second in the following four seasons, each time behind Lyon W. This year, the situation seems unchanged as they are once again behind Lyon W, five points away from the reigning champs after the first ten rounds.
In the Champions League, PSG W have been solid throughout the previous decade, constantly reaching the knockout phase, even reaching the Finals on one occasion (in 2016/17). Unfortunately, their nemesis, Lyon W, was again a better team. This year, PSG W will fail to make it to the knockout phase. But to be fair, they had a really challenging schedule and were the underdog in four out of five CL games. Therefore, their elimination from the CL isn't really such a massive surprise.

Prediction
Benfica W went over 2.5 goals in two out of the past three games. Their defense has been really bad, allowing two or more goals in three out of the past four games, keeping their net intact only against Damaiense W. Still, Damaiense W are the worst or the second-worst team in Liga BPI Women, and that clean sheet doesn't mean much.
PSG W have been even better for this type of bet as six out of the last seven games ended with three or more goals, with an incredible average of 3.71 goals per game. Also, they went over the mentioned line in both of their Champions League road games.
Considering the trend of high-scoring games by both teams and their atrocious defensive performances in the Champions League, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for the upcoming tie.
3 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Benfica W went over 2.5 goals in two out of the last three games
- PSG W went over 2.5 goals in six out of the past seven games
- We saw three or more goals in both PSG's away Champions League W matches
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
