- Competition: Women's Champions League
- Date: Wednesday, 8th October, 2025
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CEST
- Venue: Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium (Madrid)
On Wednesday afternoon, Spanish vice-champions Real Madrid Femenino will host Italy's third-placed team from last season, AS Roma W, in the opening round of the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage. Both sides will enter the match in excellent form - Real Madrid have won five of their last six games, while AS Roma have claimed victory in four of their previous five.
Let's break down the match and find the best possible bet for this Champions League W tie.
Real Madrid W team overview
Real Madrid Femenino were founded just eleven years ago, yet they've quickly established themselves as one of the top teams in Spain. Over the past five seasons, they've finished second in La Liga four times and third once. Last year, they finished second and also reached the Quarter Finals in the Champions League, where Arsenal W eliminated them on a 3:2 aggregate.
This year, Real Madrid W had a mediocre start in Spain, winning 11 points from six rounds, and are already seven points away from Barcelona. At this moment, they are simply not good enough to compete with the world's best club, Barcelona W. In the Champions League, Real Madrid W had a really tough job in the Qualifiers as they faced Eintracht Frankfurt W. Yet, they won both games and eventually won on a 5:1 aggregate.
In the previous game against Badalona W, two players from the starting eleven (Naomie Feller and Antonia) suffered injuries and had to leave the field. We believe both will miss the AS Roma W game.

AS Roma W team overview
AS Roma W are also a recently assembled team, founded just seven years ago. Still, the Yellow and Reds already managed to win two Scudettos and two Coppa Italia titles. Unfortunately, last year, they failed to win a trophy. Meanwhile, in the Women's Champions League, they weren't great, especially in the previous two years when they finished the competition in the Group Phase, and are eager to change that.
This year, AS Roma W did a pretty good job, as they won their opening Serie A game vs Parma W and reached the Finals in the Serie A Cup Women. In the Champions League Qualifiers, the Yellow and Reds did well, winning against Aktobe W, Sparta Prague W, and Sporting CP W.

Prediction
Real Madrid have been excellent for this type of bet as they went over 2.5 goals in seven out of the last eight games across the competitions - 87.5%. They have been great offensively, especially at home, where they scored at least two goals every time. They eventually scored a total of 12 goals in four games - three per game! It is fair to expect they will offer another great offensive display against AS Roma W.
AS Roma W have also played mostly high-scoring games throughout the season. Seven out of ten games across the competitions ended with three or more goals. The Red and Yellows also did very well offensively, and it seems they are only getting better as the season progresses. So, we expect them to do well in this match as well.
Considering all the above, we firmly believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Women's Champions League tie.
3 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Real Madrid W went over 2.5 goals in seven out of eight games across the competitions
- AS Roma went over 2.5 goals in seven out of ten matches in all competitions
- AS Roma scored two or more goals in the last five games
