Manchester City seek first win against Inter to boost quarter-final hopes
Manchester City visit Inter in the Women’s Champions League needing a win to improve their chances of reaching the quarter-finals automatically. City have drawn their opening three matches and start the round ninth in the 18-team league phase, where only the top four advance directly to the last eight.
Teams finishing fifth to 12th will enter the playoffs. Inter, runners-up in Serie A last season, have not conceded in domestic football this campaign but lost 6-0 away to OL Lyonnes in their previous European match. They have shown they can cause an upset, having eliminated two-time champions Wolfsburg in qualifying in September; kick-off is scheduled for 8pm.
In short
- City need their first win after three draws.
- Only the league’s top four qualify directly for the last eight.
- Inter arrive with a strong domestic defence but a heavy European defeat.
