"It's the final match of the UWCL league phase. As a reminder, only the top four qualify to the quarterfinals automatically while the next eight play in the first round. Bayern is one of three teams with 10 points from the first five matchdays, but ranked lowest of the three because of goal differential (-2 compared to +6 for each of Juventus and Real Madrid)."
""Valerenga play in a very organized and compact manner, with a back five and four players in front of them," Bayern coach José Barcala said in his match preview comments (as captured by FCBayern.com). "It's difficult to find space between the lines. We'll need to stay patient and play our positional game at a high tempo. We'll need to be particularly wary of their dangerous counter-attacking play.""
Bayern Munich returns to UEFA Women's Champions League action at home against Vålerenga in the final UWCL league-phase match of the calendar year. Only the top four teams automatically qualify for quarterfinals while the next eight enter the first round, and Bayern sits among three teams on 10 points but with the lowest goal differential (-2 versus +6 for Juventus and Real Madrid). A large scoring margin is needed to improve standings, and a high-tempo, patient positional approach will be required against Vålerenga's organized, compact defense and dangerous counter-attacks. The match takes place in Munich.
