Kick-off at the Volkswagen Arena!

The teams are out at the Volkswagen Arena, as we approach kick-off in a crucial game in the UEFA Women's Champions League between VfL Wolfsburg and PSG. 

15 minutes until kick-off in Germany. 

The only goalscorer in this tie, Dominique Janssen, starts for the host, as Wolfsburg look to use their advantage to make them the only German side in the UWCL semi-final. 

It comes after Bayern Munich were knocked out by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium yesterday, despite taking a 1-0 advantage into London. 

A stunner by Frida Maanum helped Arsenal on their way to the last four. 

Kadidiatou Diani starts for PSG tonight, as she looks to build on her three goals in the UEFA Women's Champions League this season. 

She has 17 goals in the French top flight for the visitors and will be looking to use her clinical finishing in this evening's crucial clash. 

Ramona Bachmann also starts for the visitors, who have a strong frontline going into this game at the Volkswagen Arena. 

The big news is that Marina Hegering is dropped to the bench by Stroot. 

The experienced defender came off at half time between tonight's host and Bayern Munich in the Frauen-Bundesliga at the weekend, and only makes the bench tonight.

Prediction - Wolfsburg 1-1 PSG

Whilst PSG could get on the scoresheet in Germany, the experience in the Wolfsburg side should get them through in the tie. For the younger Wolfsburg players, having those experienced players will calm the nerves which they may have. With a strong defence, the hosts should progress. But, if PSG can get a goal early, it could be an exciting game for the neutral!

The first leg between the two sides was the first time the two met in eight years. 

Dominique Janssen's penalty ensured Wolfsburg came away with the victory at the Parc des Princes. 

Wolfsburg won the meeting before that in what was also the Champions League in 2015. A 2-1 win for the Germans in France was not enough to progress in the UWCL, after PSG beat Wolfsburg 2-0 eight days before that in the first leg. 

Whilst they will want to add to their scoring at the Volkswagen Arena, a key focus for Wolfsburg will be at the back to esnure they don't let PSG back into the tie.

With her international and club experience, Marina Hegering will be crucial in that happening if she is to start for the hosts. 

Hegering has also contributed to the goals this season for Wolfsburg. She has four goals to her name in the Frauen-Bundesliga and also has a goal in the UWCL, similar to her centre-back partner Dominique Janssen who scored the winner in the first leg.

The duo will be vital in ensuring Wolfsburg make it through to the semi-final of the UWCL.

If PSG are to turn the tie around to progress into the semi-final of the UEFA Women's Champions League, Kadidiatou Diani could play a key role. 

With 17 goals to her name in the French top flight this season, she has been clinical in front of goal for PSG. She also has three goals to her name in the UWCL this season. 

Having been at PSG since 2017, Diani along with PSG will be looking to compete with French rivals Lyon on the European stage. If they were to beat one of the favourites in Wolfsburg, it would be a huge step to doing that. 

Team News for VfL Wolfsburg:

It could be a unchanged side for VfL Wolfsburg after their victory in the first leg at the Parc des Princes.

The home side made four changes in the second half in their defeat to Bayern Munich in the Frauen-Bundesliga, as they looked to rest players ahead of a crucial clash against PSG. 

Predicted XI:

Frohms; Hendrich, Hegering, Janssen, Rauch; Oberdorf, Lattwein; Huth, Roord, Popp; Pajor. (4-2-3-1)

Team News for PSG:

Élisa de Almeida will be unavailable for PSG after her red card in the first leg at the Parc des Princes. 

After going off early against Montpellier, midfielder Kheira Hamraoui could be out, whilst Ramona Bachmann will be available and looking to add to her goals this season after bagging the winner in that game last time out.

Predicted XI:
Bouhaddi; Karchaoui, Geyoro, Georgieva, Lawrence; Bachmann, Jean-Francois, Fazer; Baltimore , Diani, Groenen. (4-3-3)

The referee for Vfl Wolfsburg vs PSG will be Cheryl Foster from Wales. Her assistants her Ceri Louise Williams and Anita Vad, whilst the fourth official is Iuliana Demetrescu, with the Video Assistant Referee being Fedayi San. 

Tommy Stroot will be hoping his side stay composed to secure their place in the semi-finals, with his side having the advantage going into the game at the Volkswagen Arena. 

Dominique Janssen's penalty in the 62nd minute of the first leg is what separate's the two sides going into the game. 

Stroot will be hoping his sides' loss to league rivals Bayern Munich last time out won't hinder Wolfsburg's chances against PSG in this second leg clash. 

PSG will be looking to over turn a 1-0 defecit from the first leg at the Parc des Princes. They will be without France international Élisa de Almeida, after she was sent off in the first leg against Wolfsburg. 

Despite the loss in the first leg, they remain the only team unbeaten in the top flight of French football and will go into the game with confidence after a 1-0 win last time out against Montpellier. 

The  match will be played at the Volkswagen Arena, in Germany, with a capacity of 30,000 people. With the home side in a battle with Bayern Munich at the top of the Frauen-Bundesliga and the potential of booking their place in the Semi-Final of the UWCL, there could be a huge crowd for this quarter-final tie.
