Vålerenga vs. Wolfsburg Preview: Team News & Possible Lineups
Vålerenga Women Football Team vs VfL Wolfsburg Women Football Team Lineups are derived from previous match days. We take into consideration how strong the opponents are, what players are injured and of course team news before the match.
Team News Vålerenga
Last time Vålerenga head coach Nils Lexerød (pictured) decided on heavy rotation from their domestic win against Bodø/Glimt. Sara Hørte, Naina Inauen, Karina Sævik and Sædís Heiðarsdóttir kept their starting spots, while goalscorer Elise Thorsnes made way for Olaug Tvedten, who joined Sævik and Eline Hegg up front.
What the coach has to say
Vålerenga head coach, Nils Lexerød, after the loss to Manchester United: “To be honest, Man United deserved to win. They were a little bit better than us, but the girls worked hard to keep our structure. Unfortunately, they got their goal, but we showed we are capable of competing in this tournament.”
Michaela Kovacs, Vålerenga defender: “It’s not the result we wanted but we had two or three really good chances and we will take that with us to the next game. We defended well overall and I’m proud of the team.”
Team News VfL Wolfsburg
Head coach Stephan Lerch gave a squad updatae before VfL Wolfsburg played the game against Bayern Munich on October 11. We expect an update before the UWCL match against Vålerenga:
“Unfortunately, we’re still missing several players. Lena Lattwein, Sophia Kleinherne, Luca Papp, and Smilla Vallotto are unavailable. Vivien Endemann is also out for several weeks with a muscle injury in her left thigh — she got hurt during the warm-up before the PSG match, which is really unfortunate. There’s a question mark over Caitlin Dijkstra, who’s dealing with mild cold symptoms. On the positive side, Linnea Saelen from our U20s joins the squad. Apart from that, everyone else is fit and ready.”
What the coach has to say
Head coach Stephan Lerch on facing Vålerenga: “[We have] a great chance to secure six points [from our first two matchdays following a 4-0 win against Paris SG on Matchday 1]. That would be great.”
“It will be different against Vålerenga than against Paris SG. We’ve seen that Vålerenga play differently. In their domestic league, they are one of the top teams so they press higher. In Europe, they sit a bit deeper. We expect them to sit deeper so they can then hit on the break.”
On the new format: “It’s great for the players. This was the first match, and you already had to show the best version of yourself. For the improvement of the players, it’s a great mode of play. Every point counts, every goal counts; I like it.”
