    Glasgow City head coach Scott Booth: "As a group and club we've worked very hard to get ourselves to this position.

    "We know this game is going to be tough. The tie is far from over. They're a very good side, got threats up front.

    "It's important we don't give them anything early on, like a goal, which we've done in the past. Also we have to show we can keep the ball, and create our own chances."

  4. Brondby embattledpublished at 19:28 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2019

    Glasgow City v Brondby (19:30)

    Their 2-0 defeat at home to Glasgow ended Brondby's six-game winning run since a 2-1 defeat by current Elitedivisionen leaders Fortuna Hjorring.

    The side managed by former Denmark defender Per Nielsen followed that with another defeat, 3-2 away to Aarhus, and a 1-0 victory away to Farum.

    That leaves the reigning champions sitting second in this season's Danish top flight, one point behind Fortuna after 12 games.

    Scott Booth's side are on a high after securing a 13th Scottish title in a row and having gone on a run of 18 wins in a row since losing to Hibernian on penalties in the SWPL Cup.

    The last five of those, including their 2-0 win away to Brondby, have come away from Petershill Park.

    They have now won 13 games in a row at home since losing 3-0 to Barcelona in the Champions League last season.

    City are without suspended Scotland international Leanne Crichton – the midfielder picked up a yellow card for the second time in the tournament in the first leg.

    Chrichton and Eilish McSorley are the only two changes from that away victory, with Jenna Clark and Megan Foley coming in.

    Brondby name the same side that lost 2-0 in Copenhagen.

  8. Last eight within touching distancepublished at 19:20 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2019

    Glasgow City v Brondby (19:30)

    An incredible 2-0 first-leg win in Copenhagen has put Glasgow City in prime position to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

    If they can make the last eight it would only be the second time in the club's 21-year history they have reached that stage of the competition.

    Overturning a two-goal deficit is a monumental challenge for Brondby - in 13 consecutive unbeaten games at home, City have scored a staggering 85 goals and conceded just seven.
