Women’s Champions League Final Tips: Arsenal v Barcelona Betting Preview & Predictions (2025)

Arsenal are huge underdogs to win the Women’s Champions League crown, with the Gunners up against quadruple-chasing Barcelona in Lisbon on Saturday evening.

The Gunners have enjoyed a brilliant European campaign, with their second-leg comeback against eight-time Champions League winners Lyon likely to live long in the memory. However, Barcelona are on a whole other level.

Barcelona Worthy Favourites

This Barca side are chasing a third Champions League title in a row and victory on Saturday night would be their fourth victory in the last five seasons.

Overwhelming favourites in the sports betting markets for Saturday’s contest, Barcelona are expected to win in 90 minutes but the Spanish giants won’t have everything their own way against an Arsenal side that has defied the odds on more than one occasion this year.

Arsenal are more than capable of testing Barca’s defensive line and fans will be hoping to see the Gunners make a game of it, with thousands of fans expected to make the trip to Portugal – though the English outfit are priced at 11/2 to lift the trophy.

Barcelona sent out a real statement of intent in their semi-final success over Chelsea, especially when you consider the Blues have been the dominant force in the Women’s Super League this campaign. Having said that, Chelsea managed to score in both legs and that will give fans hope of a turn up for the books.

Both Teams Strong Going Forward

WSL Golden Boot winner Alessia Russo and fellow forward Mariona Caldentey have combined to score 14 Champions League goals this season and an early goal for Arsenal could ruffle a few feathers amongst the Barcelona side.

The Gunners are one of the best attacking sides in European football and it would be a huge shock if they fail to fire, even taking the might of Barcelona into account. A Barca win and both teams to score could be one football betting option to consider here.

Stopping Ewa Pajor will be key to Arsenal’s chances of victory but that is easier said than done. The Poland striker has notched 43 goals in 44 matches in all competitions this season, including seven goals in 10 Champions League games.

She has bagged 10 goals in her last seven matches, with a brace in each of her previous three appearances. She is the main threat to Arsenal’s goal and the Gunners will do well to stop her from making a devastating impact in front of goal.

Women’s Champions League Final Score Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal.
