- Venue: Emirates Stadium
Arsenal Women and Juventus Women go head-to-head on Thursday night with both sides looking to keep their knockout hopes alive.
Arsenal's three-game winless streak back in October has long been a distant memory. During that spell, the Gunners lost 5-2 to Bayern in their first Champions League game of the 2024-25 season, while losing to Chelsea and drawing with Everton in the league. The response has been great, with Renée Slegers' women winning their last two European matches 8-1 on aggregate. They also boast three from their last four league games.
Juventus Women, meanwhile, made a fine start to their 2024-25 Champions League campaign. The Old Lady beat Valerenga in Oslo, Norway 1-0, to end a run of four European matches without keeping a clean sheet. Things fell apart in their next two games, with the team losing all without finding the back of the net. However, Max Canzi's side will take heart ahead of their trip to the Emirates this week from the fact that they have scored at least twice in each of their last three league games.
Arsenal W vs Juventus W Betting Tips: Over 3.5 goals
Scoring goals is something Arsenal Women have done very well this season. Despite being fourth in the Women’s Super League, only the likes of Chelsea have scored more league goals than the Gunners this season. Arsenal’s games in Europe this season have also been very entertaining with all their three Group C encounters producing at least three goals.
Juventus Women also showed plenty of weaknesses defensively in their last two encounters. The Old Lady shipped four goals in the reverse fixture over a week ago and also conceded two goals against Sassuolo in the league last time out. All two games produced four goals.
- Best Tip: Over 3.5 goals

Arsenal W team news
During last weekend's 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Women's Super League, Arsenal captain Kim Little was substituted early in the second half and that caused concern for the Gooners fans.
According to head coach Renée Slegers, the substitution was a precaution rather than an injury.
Lotte Wubben-Moy and Steph Catley are unlikely to play any part for Arsenal Women on Thursday due to injuries.
