SL Benfica Women and Twente Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League fixture on Wednesday (November 12th). The game will be played at Estadio da Luz.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-0 away win over Torrense in the Campeonato Nacional Feminino over the weekend. Anna Gasper broke the deadlock from the spot midway through the second half while Chandra Davidson secured the win with nine minutes left in regulation time.
Twente, meanwhile, thrashed Den Haag 5-0 away from home in the Vrouwen Eredivisie. Alieke Tuin and Jaimy Ravensbergen scored first-half goals to put them 2-0 up at the break. Danique van Ginkel and Jill Roord scored second-half goals, either side of Barbara Oresheyd's own goal.
The Tukkers will turn their focus to the continent where their last game saw them fall to a 2-1 defeat away to Leuven. Benfica suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Arsenal.
The loss left them in 15th spot in the standings on zero points. Twente are 12th on one point.
