Benfica Women will face Paris Saint-Germain Women at the Estadio da Luz on Wednesday in the final round of the 2025-26 UEFA Women's Champions League league phase. Despite a superb domestic campaign which sees Benfica sitting comfortably atop the Campeonato Nacional Feminino, the Portuguese side have failed to perform in the UWCL this season and have now been eliminated from the tournament.
They travelled to Spain to take on tournament favourites Barcelona Women last week and lost 3-1, with Chandra Davidson's second-half strike ultimately counting as a mere consolation goal. Goalkeeper Lena Pauels played a key role in keeping the damage minimal, as the German made 11 saves, with Benfica now sitting 15th in the table.
Paris Saint-Germain Women have not fared any better than their midweek opponents on the continental stage this term. They hosted OH Leuven Women in the last round of the tournament but were held to a scoreless draw after squandering multiple chances to take the lead.
Like their midweek hosts, PSG have also been eliminated from the UWCL after securing just one point from a possible 15. Both teams, however, will remain keen to pick up maximum points on Wednesday and bow out of the competition on a positive note.

Benfica Women vs Paris Saint-Germain Women Prediction
As Águias have won three of their last four matches and are in good shape heading into the midweek clash. They also have home advantage to rely on this week, having lost just one of their last six home outings, and will hope it pays dividends.
Les Parisiennes, meanwhile, have managed just two wins from their last six games across all competitions. While they remain the stronger side heading into the midweek clash, their uninspiring form could see them settle for a share of the spoils in Portugal.
