Barcelona vs Wolfsburg - UWCL: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction

Barcelona host Wolfsburg in the first leg of the Women's Champions League semi finals on Friday evening, as the reining European champions take on the two-time former winners.

Barcelona beat rivals Real Madrid in front of a world record crowd at Camp Nou in the previous round, and Friday's fixture could set another blockbuster attendance figure after tickets sold out in just over 24 hours.

The bumper crowd should be treated to a tightly contested affair, with Wolfsburg sitting top of the Frauen-Bundesliga and Barcelona already crowned Spanish champions for a third successive season.

Barcelona team news

Lieke Martens will miss this fixture and the return leg after suffering a hamstring injury during her recovery from a thigh problem. The Dutch international has already been sidelined since March, and is expected to be out for a further four weeks.

Mariona Caldentey and Asisat Oshoala remain doubts for the reigning champions. The pair have not featured since February after struggling with thigh injuries, but took part in training on Thursday.

Jana Fernandez and Bruna Vilamala are continued long-term injury absentees.

Barcelona vs Wolfsburg score prediction

Barcelona have been scoring for fun both domestically and in Europe this season, netting 178 goals in 35 matches across the two competitions this season.

However, they will face a tougher defensive test in the shape of Wolfsburg - who demonstrated they were more than capable of playing without the ball for long periods and still coming away with a result during their quarter-final first leg against Arsenal.

It will be a hard fought contest, but Barcelona will narrowly come out on top.

Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Wolfsburg
