Accordingly, their squad is also stronger.

Stephan Lerch has been under contract as a coach at VfL Wolsburg since 07.2013, where he worked as assistant coach between July 2015 and June 2017. He will coach the women from Wolfsburg until summer 2021. So it can be said that he has already won the Women’s Champions League Cup with VfL Wolfsburg.

Dominique Bloodworth 2 goals

FC Barcelona:
Alexia Putellas 3 goals
Marta Torrejón 2 goals
Aitana Bonmatí 2 goals

The FC Barcelona women and their path so far in the Champions League 2019/20

The women’s team from Barcelona had a harder lot in the Women’s Champions League so far. Nonetheless, they were able to win every game and almost without conceding a goal. In total, they met 13 times in 5 games, which equates to a goal average of 2.6, and only allowed 2 goals. So they have an average goal against 0.4. In terms of goals, they are among the fifth strongest teams in the Womens CHL. With 110 attempts they made the fourth most balls and with 43 shots on goal they made the fourth most balls that hit the box. Caroline Graham Hansen distributed the fifth most assists in the Womens Champions League, 3 to be precise. Nevertheless, they are likely to be inferior to the VfL Wolfsburg squad.

Coach Lluís Cortés

Lluís Cortés has been under contract with the Barca Ladies since 01.01.2019. For the Spaniard this is his first coaching position. He will initially lead the sporting fortunes until June 30th, 2021. Cortés takes over for Fran Sanchesz, who was sacked at Barca. He is no stranger to the Spanish women, because he has been part of the FC Barcelona assistance team since 2017. They have played 41 games so far under the leadership of the 33-year-old. They ensured a goal average of 3.54: 0.44. This is comparable with the average of goals from VfL Wolfsburg under Stephan Lerch.

The Barca Ladies ended the women’s Primera División with 59 points from champions after the season was abandoned after 21 matchdays for known reasons. They didn’t suffer a single defeat. They won 19 games and had to accept 2 draws because they were away from home. In the Estadi Johann Cruyff they could win every game. In total, they scored 86 times and only allowed 6 goals. It probably goes without saying that they have both the strongest home and away team. Incidentally, they only conceded 1 goal away from home, but they scored 31 times in 10 games. Barca are still in the Copa de la Reina, but the semi-final against Sevilla FC has been postponed. They were also able to win the Supercopa 2019 against Real Sociedad 10-1.

Only the Champions League title is still missing. In 2019 they stood for the last and so far for the only time in a final of the womens CHL. They were eliminated against the record winner Lyon.

VfL Wolfsburg W vs Barcelona W Free Betting Tips

After the analysis, we are convinced that VfL Wolfsburg will win. Sure, since the semi-finals will be played in the Basque Country, you might think that FC Barcelona could enjoy a home advantage, they were also able to win against Basque teams often, but the VfL squad seems to be stronger to us. Tip 1 is therefore a good idea. Of course, an outsider bet is also an option, as Barca had tougher opponents in the Womens Champions League and knew how to convince.
