Arsenal Women Odds: Predictions as Gunners eye Champions League glory

Arsenal Women are overwhelming favourites to finish the job against Oud‑Heverlee Leuven at Meadow Park and book their place in the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter‑finals.

Arsenal lead 4–0 on aggregate after a dominant first‑leg win in Belgium and are priced at 1/20 in William Hill’s 90‑minute market, with the draw 10/1 and Leuven out at 50/1.

Take a look at our preview for Wednesday night’s match below, and some betting tips too.

Tie so far

The Gunners were ruthless in Leuven last week, running out 4–0 winners thanks to a brace from Frida Maanum, a first‑half strike from Olivia Smith and a late goal from Alessia Russo. That result followed a 3–0 away victory over the same opponents in last season’s group phase, leaving Arsenal with seven goals scored and none conceded in two competitive meetings. Leuven did respond with a 2–1 league win over Westerlo at the weekend, but overturning a four‑goal deficit in North London looks an almost impossible task.

Form and key numbers

Arsenal come into the second leg with just one defeat in their last 15 matches in all competitions, 11 of which have ended in wins, and nine of those games have seen at least one team fail to score. Leuven, for their part, have won seven of their last eight across competitions and nine of their last 11 fixtures have produced at least three goals, underlining their domestic threat even if they’ve struggled at Champions League level.

From a head‑to‑head perspective, Arsenal have won both previous meetings to nil (3–0 and 4–0), and they have yet to concede a goal to the Belgian champions. With Chelsea waiting for the winner in the last eight, Renée Slegers‘ side will want a professional performance that keeps confidence high and minutes sensibly shared around the squad.

Betting angles

With Arsenal so short in the match‑odds market, attention naturally turns to side bets. Given the Gunners’ defensive record and the pattern of this tie, “Over 1.5 Goals in the First Half” (3/4) and a Alessia Russo to score anytime with an Arsenal Win (3/1) stand out as logical options, backed up by Arsenal having put three or more past them in both previous meetings.

On the correct‑score front, a repeat of the first‑leg scoreline looks possible, but with Arsenal unlikely to need to chase the game as aggressively, a controlled 3–0 home win (9/2) feels a sensible middle ground. Expect the hosts to assert control early, rotate intelligently in the second half and see out a comfortable victory without ever needing to move out of second gear.
