Paris FC Women vs Benfica Women Prediction 19.11.2025 | UEFA Women's Champions League

Since achieving their best-ever performance in Europe in 2012-13, reaching the Final Four, Paris FC Women have struggled to replicate any notable success in the competition, with last season seeing them not even reach the group stage.

This year, Sandrine Soubeyrand’s side have secured their place in the League Phase, but their European campaign got off to a less-than-optimistic start, leaving them winless in their first three matches and collecting just two points in the process.

Nevertheless, Paris FC Women showed great fighting spirit in Matchday Three, holding Real Madrid W to a 1-1 draw in the Spanish capital — a result that should serve as a confidence boost and a signal that their first victory may be within reach.

Oceane Picard’s availability for Wednesday’s European clash remains under assessment after being substituted in the 25th minute against Real Madrid Women due to an apparent injury, with Sheika Scott ready to step in should Picard be unavailable.

Although they impressed by reaching the Last-8 stage in the 2023–24 campaign, Benfica Women followed that achievement with a major setback the very next season, crashing out in the second round of qualifying. However, As Aguias quickly corrected course by securing their return to the competition this year.

Their European journey got off to a rocky start, with Benfica outplayed by both Juventus Women and Arsenal Women in their opening pair of fixtures. Matchday Three finally brought relief, as they collected their first point of the campaign through a hard-fought 1-1 stalemate against Twente Women on home soil.

Despite facing another demanding test on Matchday Four of the UEFA Women’s Champions League this Wednesday, Benfica Women travel to Paris with genuine optimism thanks to their recent away form, having claimed victory in four of their last five road trips and scoring four or more goals in three of those wins.

Head coach Ivan Baptista introduced a few subtle adjustments on Matchday Three, and the changes paid off, so he is widely expected to stick with the same XI that delivered their first point of the campaign in the draw with Twente.
