Group B
Ellie Carpenter's Lyon is one of two teams that has already booked their spot in the quarter-finals, with holders Barcelona joining them as both are yet to suffer defeat in the UWCL group stage so far.
Lyon will travel to Austria to take on St. Pölten, with their opponents sitting at the bottom of the Group B standings with one point so far. Lyon, eight-time winners of the UWCL, defeated Pölten in Matchday 2 of the group stage 2-0, with Daniëlle van de Donk opening the scoring in the 4th minute before an own goal to Pölten ensured Lyon held on to all three points.

Larissa Crummer's SK Brann could book their spot in the final eight as the best second-place finish in Group B if they were to avoid defeat at Slavia. The Norwegian side picked up a crucial point in a 2-2 draw with Lyon, which means the side now sits on seven points in second.

Group C
Clare Hunt's Paris Saint-Germain will be going down to the wire in Group C, with only three points separating first place and last place of the group, meaning all sides could still qualify for the final eight.
After a rocky start to the UWCL group stage, PSG recorded back-to-back wins against Roma, which saw PSG move to second in the group with six points. PSG will host ladder leaders, Ajax at Parc des Princes, with one point between the two heading into matchday 5.
PSG will be able to advance to the quarter-finals in this game should they beat Ajax and Roma also defeat Bayern in the other Group C game.

Group D
Sam Kerr's Chelsea could progress to the quarter-finals when they take on Hayley Raso's Real Madrid, with the Spanish side already eliminated after only collecting one point in their last four games.
Chelsea currently sits at the top of Group D standings with 8 points, and a win against Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge will ensure Chelsea book their spot in the final eight. On the other hand, Real Madrid has had a week off in Liga F, and although can't qualify for the next round can play their part in who books their spot.
Kerr scored five goals for Chelsea in their last 4 UWCL group-stage outings, as Emma Hayes' side looks to adjust their attacking game without the striker.

The other Group D fixture will see Aivi Luik's BK Häcken host Sarah Hunter's Paris FC. Despite Paris FC getting off to an enthralling start in the UWCL, knocking out two former Champions in Arsenal and Wolfsburg, they could just miss out on continuing their dream run after sitting in third place on six points.
Häcken will be through to the quarter-finals if they make it back-to-back wins against Paris FC, after defeating them 2-1 in Matchday 1 of the UWCL. While Paris FC will be out if they suffer defeat, and will be unable to advance to the final eight in the final matchday of the group stage next week.
