Bayern Munich Women will aim to stretch their unbeaten streak to seven games across all competitions when they head to Norway for Thursday's Women's Champions League clash against Valerenga Women.
The German outfit sits atop Group C with a flawless record, while their Norwegian counterparts occupy the foot of the table. Valerenga earned their spot in the Women’s Champions League group stage for the first time after overcoming Farul Constanta and Anderlecht in the qualifiers. However, their group stage campaign has been challenging, with the team yet to secure a point from their opening three matches.
Following a narrow home loss to Juventus, Valerenga suffered heavy away defeats to Arsenal (4-1) and Bayern Munich (3-0), leaving them in a difficult position. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is on the verge of booking their place in the quarter-finals after collecting nine points from three games.
The German champions showcased their dominance in last week's home meeting with Valerenga. Pernille Harder, Giulia Gwinn, and Sara Zadrazil each scored a goal, sealing a comfortable 3-0 victory.
