- Competition: Champions League Women
- Date: Wednesday, 17th December, 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Allianz Stadium (Turin)
On Wednesday evening, the Champions League Women's last round of the league phase will take place. One of the most intriguing duels will be between Junvetuw W and Manchester United W. While both teams secured at least a 1/8 Finals spot with ten (Juventus W) and nine (MU W) points in the first five rounds, each team still has a solid chance of securing a top-four spot and advancing to the quarter-finals, avoiding an extra duel in the knockout phase.
Juventus W team overview
Juventus W are the best Italian team, having won six league titles and finished second (twice) in the previous eight years. Last year, they won the title again and also the Coppa Italia. Unfortunately, they finished their Champions League campaign in the group stage. This season, their Champions League campaign is going much better, considering they have won ten points in five rounds and are currently in fourth place.
When it comes to the Serie A Women, the Old Lady is in second place with 17 points - five points away from AS Roma W. Throughout the season, they have had some ups and downs but are improving as the season progresses and are currently on a seven-game unbeaten run.
After a 2:1 win over Napoli W, coach Max Canzi spoke to the media. He was unhappy with the first-half performance, but praised the team for the second half. The coach complimented their opponents, saying they played well, but believed they were a better team and deservedly won the match.

Manchester United W team overview
Manchester United Women are not a club that frequently features in the Women's Champions League. In their seven-year history, they have made just one previous appearance in the qualifiers, back in the 2023/24 season. This year marks their first participation in the competition's main phase. Impressively, in their debut in the main phase, they have already earned nine points from five group-stage matches, securing at least a place in the knockout rounds.
Even though the desired fourth place is only one point away, MU W have a fairly bad goal difference, and it will be hard to move all the way to fourth place even with a possible win. Unfortunately, they are in a very poor run, having won just once in the past five games across competitions, and it will be interesting to see whether they can turn that around.
After a 3:3 draw, coach Marc Skinner spoke to the media. He said the performance in the first half had been bad, but pointed out they did well to come back after being 3:0 down. The coach eventually praised the team, but also noted they have areas to improve and will have to work on those.

Prediction
Juventus W are in excellent form, having won back-to-back games against St. Polten W and Napoli W, and scoring a total of seven goals. Also, at home, they have scored two or more goals in eight out of ten games across the competitions. Moreover, in the Champions League, the Old Lady went over 2.5 goals in each of their five matches with an average of 4.0 goals per game.
Manchester United W have gone over 2.5 goals in the past six games across the competitions. Their defense really struggled recently, allowing three or more goals in four of the past five matches.
Now, considering all the above and the fact that both teams need three points, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
4 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Juventus W went over 2.5 goals in all five CL games
- Juventus W scored two or more goals in five of the past seven matches across the competitions
- Manchester United W went over 2.5 goals in the past six games across the competitions
- MU W allowed three or more goals in four of the last five matches
