Group leaders Manchester City Women travel to Sweden to face Hammarby Women, with maximum points after three games. City are in control of the group, but with their knockout qualification looking secure, they might opt to rotate, especially in defense. This could provide opportunities for the Swedish hosts to make an impact on the scoresheet.
Hammarby come into this clash with plenty of firepower, led by the dynamic duo Cathinka Tandberg and Ellen Wangerheim, who have combined for nearly 30 goals in the Allsvenskan Women this season. At home, they are no pushovers and will aim to capitalize on any gaps in City’s setup.
However, Manchester City boast a talismanic star in Khadija Shaw, their standout striker, who has been in electrifying form, scoring goals for fun. Even with some defensive rotations, City’s attack remains potent and capable of punishing any defensive lapses from Hammarby.
Given the attacking talent on both sides and Hammarby’s home advantage, this is shaping up to be an open and lively contest with plenty of chances.
