Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Women's Champions League match.
Arsenal's experienced lineup dismantled Juventus' defence in their first head-to-head encounter, which took place in Turin (4:0). In London, they could extend their dominance even further: one of the favourites of the Women's Champions League have hit their stride and aim to challenge Bayern Munich for the group leadership.
Arsenal (women)
A draw against Manchester United (1:1) in early November was the last match where Arsenal failed to convert most of their chances. A winning streak against Brighton (5:0), Juventus, and Tottenham Hotspur (3:0) showcased the full power of their attacking line. In Turin, the London side registered 12 shots on target and managed to reinvigorate their attack with substitutions, with Stina Blackstenius and Mariona Caldentey each scoring from the bench.
Juventus (women)
It's not that Juventus failed to play their game in the last match against the English side, but none of their six on-target attempts resulted in serious threats. The coaching staff couldn't bolster their play with substitutes, as none affected the scoreline. On the weekend, Juventus dropped points against Sassuolo (2:2), despite having a significant advantage in chances (26-9 in shots).
Arsenal (women) vs Juventus (women) Prediction
Juventus will struggle to compete with Arsenal in the upcoming match, as the English side have regained their form. We suggest betting on the hosts' victory with a handicap of -2.
