The second leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League Round 2 Qualifiers get underway on Thursday (AEST).
Arsenal’s CommBank Matildas will have to overturn a deficit against BK Häcken while Manchester City and FC Twente will hope to hold on to their dominant first-leg results.
Read our preview of the action below.
FC Twente will look to capitalise on their three-goal lead when they take on NK Osijek on Friday, 3.45am AEST. If they win, draw, or lose by less than three goals in the second leg, the Dutch champions will advance to the group stage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the first time in their history.
Daniela Galic has appeared off the bench in all of their competitive appearances so far this season and will be hoping for a first competitive start in this game.
Paris FC will be relying on a miracle when they travel to Manchester to take on City on Friday, 4am AEST. City won the first leg in Paris 5-0 and it would take something unprecedented for Paris FC to turn it around away from home.
Mary Fowler scored in the first leg and will be available in the second, while Alanna Kennedy will be available for City as well. Sarah Hunter will likely start on the bench for Paris FC.

Arsenal will have to win by two or more goals to advance past BK Häcken when they face off on Friday, 4.30am AEST. The task is simple for the Swedish side – come to Meadow Park, bring a bus, and hope that they can either secure a clean sheet or score another goal or two of their own.
Despite the deficit, Arsenal should still be favourites to get the job done and advance to the group stage - but it is far from a sure thing.
Caitlin Foord and Kyra Cooney-Cross will be available for Arsenal. Steph Catley has been out of action with injury, however, is back doing individual training but will be unlikely to feature in the tie. Aivi Luik is unavailable for Häcken.
