Real Madrid will be chasing their first victory in the UEFA Women's Champions League league phase when they welcome fellow French side Paris FC on Tuesday.

The Spanish club have endured a frustrating opening to the competition, collecting three points from their first three matches after drawing every game.

They currently occupy ninth position, level on points with Manchester City, who are 10th.

Real Madrid have scored four goals and conceded the same number, leaving their goal difference at zero.

Although they remain within the play-off positions, another dropped opportunity could make their route to the knockout rounds more complicated.

Their most recent European outing ended in a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid had to settle for a point despite taking on one of Europe's established sides, extending their sequence of draws to three matches.

Tuesday's fixture offers them another chance to turn those performances into a victory and move closer to the top eight.

Paris FC arrive in Spain with a similar need for points but are in a more difficult position.

They have managed two draws and one defeat, leaving them 14th with two points.

The French side have scored five goals but conceded eight, highlighting the defensive difficulties they have experienced during the opening three rounds.

A positive result against Real Madrid would be valuable as they attempt to climb into the top 12, which is the final position offering qualification for the knockout play-offs.

Real Madrid will have home advantage and a chance to take control of the contest, but Paris FC have the opportunity to make the evening difficult for their hosts.

Kick-off is scheduled for 9:45pm East African Time.
