Real Madrid vs Paris FC: Women's Champions League preview, predictions, team news and TV info

These two clubs met as recently as February in the first knockout round, with Real Madrid winning both legs, 3-2 in Paris and then 2-0 back in Valdebebas. Overall las Blancas are currently unbeaten in five meetings with French opposition, having failed to win any of their first six beforehand, losing five.

So, ahead of this Champions League tie at Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano, check out our preview, predictions, team news and TV info.

Having drawn all three Champions League matches so far, will Real Madrid's trend continue, or will this produce a winner? A fortnight ago, las Blancas raced into a 2-0 lead against Bayern Munich, Athenea del Castillo and then Lineth Beerensteyn the scorers, but could not see it out, eventually held to a 2-2 draw at Sportpark Unterhaching.

Thus, as already mentioned, Pau Quesada's team now have three points on the board. Real Madrid previously drew 1-1 with both Paris Saint-Germain at home and Manchester City on the road, leading at half time of both of those matches too. Las Merengues conclude the group stages against Inter Milan and Roma, but need a win or two to progress, so will it finally come here?

Paris FC meantime are also still searching for their first victory of this league phase. Since being smashed 5-2 by Barça Femení at Estadi Johan Cruyff on matchday one, Sandrine Soubeyrand's side have stabilised with successive draws.

First, despite being two down with less than 20 minutes to play, they salvaged a share of the spoils against Arsenal; Maeline Mendy converting a late penalty at Stade Jean-Bouin. Across the city, Paris FC then should have beaten BK Häcken at Stade Sébastien Charléty, leading as early as the third minute thanks to Evelyne Viens, only for the Swedish side to equalise deep into stoppage time.

Both of these teams are in the same boast, simply targeting a top 12 finish, with a top four spot highly improbable. Thus, every point is precious, so will there be a winner in the Spanish capital?

Star attacker Linda Caicedo picked up a muscle injury during Saturday's 1-1 Liga F draw with Athletic Club, which is a massive blow, with Signe Bruun set to come into attack.

Meantime, this will be a landmark night for captain Athenea del Castillo, becoming the first women in Real Madrid history to reach 50 Champions League appearances for the club.

Captain Clara Matéo is suspended, following her red card against BK Häcken, which is a blow, considering she is Paris FC's top-scorer this season with six goals. Goalkeeper Mylène Chavas misses out on a meeting with her former side due to injury.

Real Madrid predicted lineup: Frohms; Cristóbal, Lakrar, Méndez, Navarro; Senß, Angeldahl, Caruso; del Castillo, Beerensteyn, Bruun.

Paris FC predicted lineup: Seweryn; N'Dongala, Gréboval, Ould Hocine, Roche-Dufour; Korošec, Le Moguédec, Mendy; Toloba, Torres, Viens.

Score prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Paris FC.
