Roma will look to build on their opening-day success when they travel to Ataturk Olimpiyat to face Galatasaray Women in the second round of the UEFA Women's Champions League on Thursday.
The Galatasaray Women have seamlessly navigated all qualifying challenges on their journey to achieve a historic feat that no other Turkish women’s club has accomplished before. Metin Ulgen's ladies saw off Racing Luxembourg 4-1 and Shymkent 5-0 before overcoming Sparta Prague over two legs in extra time to secure a first-ever entry into the group stage of the Women's Champions League. Sadly, the Lionesses were unable to kick off their group campaign against tougher opposition, suffering a comprehensive 0-3 defeat to the record winners Olympique Lyon Women.
On the other hand, Roma Women had a remarkable campaign on home soil last season, as they claimed titles in both the Italian women's top flight and the Coppa Italia. Led by Allesandro Spugna, the squad has sealed their spot in the group stage for the third straight year after blowing away Servette 10-3 on aggregate in the qualifiers. In their group opener, La Giallorosse pulled off a surprise by bringing Wolfsburg Women to their knees in Rome thanks to Manuela Giugliano’s solitary winner.
Galatasaray Women vs Roma Women Betting Tips : BTTS
The favorite role belongs to the Italian women’s side, but it seems that Gala has enough tools to make Roma’s path to victory difficult, so we hope the audience in Istanbul enjoys a lively encounter with goals flying in from both sides. Although their self-belief might be shaken after consecutive road defeats, the Lionesses are determined to rectify their course upon returning to familiar territory, where they have shown strong performances recently by winning five out of their last six home games and netting at least two goals in every single match. The fact that Roma Women have managed to keep their net untouched only once in nine competitive matches since the season started will be music to the ears of the Galatasaray team, who ought to capitalize on their rival’s defensive struggles and inflict them more damage at the back. Ultimately, we expect the Lionesses to be in attacking mode against Roma's shaky defense, making this match an entertaining and thrilling spectacle for fans to enjoy.
Galatasaray Women team news

AS Roma team news
With manager Alessandro Spugna making his first substitution only in the 78th minute during their 1-0 Champions League group stage win over Wolfsburg, it's expected that he will call upon the same lineup that delivered the impressive result.
When it comes to unavailable players, goalkeeper Olivie Lukasova and center-back Oihane Valdezate are sidelined for an extended period due to serious ligament injuries, while Camelia Ceasar is ready to guard the net once again.
