Women's Champions League
St. Pölten challenged in the qualifiers against Vllaznia
SKN St. Pölten want to take another step closer to the group stage of the Women's Champions League on Saturday (18:00). After a commanding start to the qualifying phase with a 5-0 win over Neftci Baku in Tskaltubo on Wednesday, the Albanian champions Vllaznia now await in Kutaisi in the final of the mini-tournament held in Georgia. They also had no trouble in their 3-0 win over hosts Lanchkhuti.
"Vllaznia is a team with some very technically skilled players who should not be underestimated. Above all, their individual quality in offense makes them unpleasant," warned St. Pölten coach Liese Brancao ahead of the clash at the Ramaz Shengelia Stadium. The Lower Austrians are the favorites, having won all four of their matches this season, but they should not expect a home run.
The Albanians did make it to the top flight two years ago, where they were eliminated without points in a tough group featuring Chelsea, Paris St. Germain and Real Madrid. St. Pölten have reached the group stage in the past two seasons and are determined to continue this streak. To do so, a knockout duel in the 2nd round must also be mastered on September 18/19 and 25/26. The draw for this will take place on Monday in Nyon.
