Juventus W team overview
Juventus W finished 3rd last season in Serie A Women, but had the opportunity to win the title as they reached the Coppa Italia Women. Unfortunately, they lost 1:0 to AS Roma. However, this season, at the start of the season, they managed to get revenge on AS Roma W for that loss, beating them in the Serie A Cup on penalties. Also, Juventus W had to go through the Qualifiers in order to secure the main phase, eliminating teams like Torrense W, Hammarby W, and St. Polten W. So, an overall good start to the season.
After beating AS Roma and winning the Serie A Cup Women, coach Isaac Guerrero spoke to the media. He said they fought to the very end, showing identity, courage, and the ability to come back. The coach said AS Roma W made the match difficult, but said that they created chances, had possession, and kept pushing. He added that this title will fuel them for the upcoming challenges.

Benfica W team overview
Benfica W easily won the double last season, proving they are by far the best team in Portugal. This season, they have simply demolished FC Porto W in the Super Cup, beating them 5:1. They went on to win the next two league games with a combined goal difference of 5:0. Undoubtedly a dream start for the Portuguese champions. Still, they will not have the biggest test so far.
After a 2:0 win over Rio Ave W, coach Ivan Baptista spoke to the media. He said he knew it would be a difficult trip to Vila do Conde. However, he was satisfied with their display and was especially proud of how well they defended throughout the game.

Prediction
Both teams started the season really well and are undefeated thus far. However, we were most impressed by their defenses. Juventus W kept a clean sheet in five out of nine games across competitions, while Benfica W had two clean sheets in two out of three thus far.
Also, in the previous h2h game, Juventus W won 2:1 in a game where these teams had a combined xG of 2.43.
Considering all the above, but especially both teams' dominant defensive displays, we firmly believe that under 3.5 goals is the safest bet for this Champions League W tie.
4 Reasons why we should see fewer than four goals
- Juventus W kept a clean sheet in six fivce out of nine games this season
- Juventus W went under 3.5 goals in seven out of nine games
- Benfica W allowed one goal in the first three games
- The previous h2h game ended 2:1 for Juventus W
