Team Analysis
Valerenga Women have entered the Women's Champions League group stage for the first time, facing a challenging path. Their journey included qualifying victories over Farul Constanta and Anderlecht, but they have struggled in the group stage, losing all three matches so far. The Norwegian side has found it difficult to compete against top-tier teams like Juventus, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich. Key players such as Jalen Tompkins, Stine Brekken, and Selma Pettersen are unavailable due to injuries, which has further affected their performance. Karina Saevik, who has scored 18 goals in 2024, remains a crucial player for their attack.

Bayern Munich Women, on the other hand, are in commanding form, sitting at the top of Group C with a perfect record. They have shown their strength with victories over Arsenal, Juventus, and Valerenga, and are on a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Despite some injuries, including Katharina Naschenweng and Sydney Lohmann, Bayern's squad depth and quality have been evident. Pernille Harder and Giulia Gwinn are among the standout players contributing to their successful campaign.

Team News
Valerenga will have to manage without several key players, relying on Tove Enblom in goal and a defensive lineup that includes Sara Horte, Elise Thorsnes, and Iselin Olsen. Bayern Munich are also missing a few players, including goalkeeper Mala Grohs, who is focusing on recovery from health issues. The German side is expected to field a strong lineup featuring Pernille Harder and Giulia Gwinn.

Match Prediction
Bayern Munich Women are expected to continue their dominant form against Valerenga Women. With their attacking prowess and solid defense, Bayern are likely to secure a victory, potentially by a 3-1 margin. Valerenga may find it challenging to contain Bayern's offensive threats, although they might manage to find the net once.

Pick: Over 3 goals
