Twente Women remain in search of their first major spark of success as they host Atletico Madrid Femenino at De Grolsch Veste in Thursday’s UEFA Women’s Champions League Round 4 encounter.
Twente W team overview
After falling short in last season’s group stage, Twente Women enter this year’s expanded Champions League format determined to right those wrongs — yet their opening steps have brought little to celebrate.
With three fixtures already behind them, the Dutch representatives remain in search of their first win in the tournament, having drawn 1-1 with both Chelsea W and Benfica W, while sandwiched between those stalemates was a surprising 2-1 defeat to OH Leuven W.
Ahead of a demanding European showdown, the Tukkers have boosted their confidence through domestic heavyweight action, grinding out a dramatic five-goal thriller against Feyenoord Women to remain level on points with Ajax at the summit of the Eredivisie.
Given that only two changes were made in their most recent UWCL outing, head coach Corina Dekker is widely expected to place her trust once again in an unchanged XI for Thursday’s contest.

Atletico Madrid Femenino team overview
After four years away, Atletico Madrid Femenino have reasserted their place in the group/league stage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, having finished last season just behind champions Barcelona and runners-up Real Madrid.
Despite making an impressive statement in the opening match of the UWCL’s new-format campaign with a 6-0 demolition of St. Polten W in Austria, Los Colchoneras were unable to carry that momentum into their next pair of fixtures, narrowly losing both home games to Manchester United W and Juventus W.
Victor Martin's side will be hoping to build on their confident two-goal success over Badalona at the weekend, which kept them in the title race, as they displayed solid form away from Madrid in the new season, not losing any of their opening seven outings (W4 D3).
Sunday’s league victory was tempered by injury concerns, as Lauren was substituted in the 73rd minute and Luany was forced off deep into stoppage time, meaning their fitness will need to be carefully assessed ahead of upcoming matches.

Prediction
Twente Women are bracing for a storm, but at home they’ve shown grit, organization, and the kind of resilience that can frustrate even elite sides. Atletico Madrid Femenino bring star quality, but Twente’s pressing and home crowd energy could make things tricky. A draw seems unlikely, but the home side holding on for at least a point feels entirely plausible — backing 1X is playing it smart in a tense clash.
Four Reasons we expect 1X (Double Chance)
- Twente Women remain unbeaten at home across their opening eight competitive matches this season (W6 D2).
- Half of Atletico Madrid Femenino’s last six away outings have ended level.
- Atletico Madrid Femenino have been outplayed in their last two UWCL appearances.
- Twente Women have suffered just one defeat in their first three UWCL fixtures.
