This is a UEFA Women's Champions League game where Arsenal W meet SL Benfica W again, after Benfica W lost 0-2 the last time they met, though that was a game Arsenal W controlled almost entirely. This time Benfica W come in with form clearly better than back then. Arsenal W are still not settled in their own league, winning only once in their last five and just coming off a 2-1 win over a league rival, while Benfica W have won three in a row in the Portuguese league and thrashed their last opponent 6-0. Benfica W's attack is working well, but their defence still shows gaps in European competition. This game is likely to see Arsenal W as the side pushing forward, because they play at home and have superior attacking quality, while Benfica W will likely sit deep and wait for chances to counter at speed. If Arsenal W score early the game could open up, but if Benfica W hold out for a long time it will get more stifling and Arsenal W may find it hard to break through.
