In the UEFA Women's Europa Cup preview, Wolfsburg Frauen aim to secure their spot in the Round of 16 following their 6-1 victory over Sturm Graz in the first leg. The Austrian side experienced a setback, relinquishing the top spot in their league. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, demonstrated their offensive prowess once more, defeating Sand 6-0 in the DFB-Pokal. Key players Ella Peddemors, Svenja Huth, and Lena Lattwein, who were instrumental in the first leg, again found the back of the net against the 2. Bundesliga team.
Stepping into the same starting lineup as the previous encounter, Sturm Graz's coach, Stephan Lerch, has expressed his determination to play with the same intensity and mentality, despite the tie being 0-0. The draw for the remainder of the competition will be revealed on Friday, with the two-legged format set to continue until the final whistle.
BK Häcken holds the distinction of being the inaugural winners of the competition, while current Real Madrid star Felicia Schröder has been a prolific scorer. Wolfsburg will next take on HSV in Frauen-Bundesliga action ahead of an international break. The predicted starting lineups for the match include Sturm Graz's Dubel, Wattilete, and Krumböck, alongside Wolfsburg's Johannes, Linder, and Huth.
