Arsenal – Women’s Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Arsenal returned to winning ways on Saturday, securing a 2-1 victory away at Tottenham in the WSL. Renee Slegers’ side had previously gone three league matches without victory, including defeats against Chelsea and Manchester City. The Gunners will now be hoping to build on that result when they return to European action.
The hosts have collected four points from their opening two Champions League fixtures. Arsenal beat HB Køge 1-0 before surrendering a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw against Paris FC. However, their home record offers plenty of encouragement, with the Gunners winning their last six Champions League matches on home soil.
Arsenal have lifted the Women’s Champions League twice, most recently in 2025 when they beat Barcelona 1-0 in the final. The Gunners also recorded a 2-0 victory away at Benfica last season, the hosts are the odds-on favourites at 1/6 with William Hill.

Benfica – Women’s Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Benfica travel to London following Saturday’s impressive 4-1 victory over rivals Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese champions recovered from an early setback, that result should provide some confidence ahead of Wednesday’s difficult trip to Arsenal.
The visitors have collected three points from their opening two Champions League matches this season. Benfica produced an impressive 2-1 victory away at Juventus, however, they followed that success with a disappointing 3-0 home defeat against Bayern Munich.
Benfica have struggled for consistency in Europe, winning just one of their last nine Champions League fixtures (D2, L6). Defensive problems have been a particular concern, with the visitors failing to keep a clean sheet in ten consecutive European matches, the Portuguese side can be backed here at 10/1 with William Hill.
