- Competition: Champions League Women
- Date: Thursday, 20th November, 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Den Dreef (Heverlee)
On Thursday evening, Leuven W and AS Roma W will face off against each other in the Champions League W at Den Dreef in Heverlee. The hosts have started the competition much better, as they are currently in the Playoff spot, while AS Roma W had a terrible start and are looking for their first points.
Let's break down the match and find the best possible bet.
Leuven W team overview
Leuven W were founded in 2002 and won their first-ever title last year in a super interesting end to the season. They won the title due to better h2h stats than Anderlecht since they had the same number of points. With that title, they secured their first Champions League W appearance and are doing fine at the moment. They managed to win four points in three rounds, only losing to the best team in the world, Barcelona.
After a 5:1 win over Gent in the previous game, coach Arno Van Den Abbeel spoke to the media. He was really happy with a win, saying they dominated despite rotating the squad. The coach said the decision was due to a busy schedule, considering they are playing every third or fourth day.

AS Roma W team overview
Last year, AS Roma W finished third in Serie A and reached the Coppa Italia Finals but lost eventually to Juventus W 4:0. While they had a fantastic start this year in Serie A where they sit at the top spot with 15 points in six rounds, they are not doing a good job in the CL W. They lost all three games and are desperate to find points in this game against the Belgians.
In the previous CL game against Valerenga W, winger Emilie Haavi suffered an injury and had to leave the field after 20 minutes. She missed the upcoming game vs Lazio W as well and will most likely be out for the Leuven W game. The 33-year-old has started in all three Champions League W games, scoring one goal. We expect Giulia Dragoni to start as a replacement. The 19-year-old Dragoni has been in excellent form coming off the bench and will probably get the opportunity in this crucial match.

Prediction
Leuven W went over 2.5 goals in the last three games across the competitions. They have also went over 2.5 goals in all three Champions League W games. At home, they managed to score two goals per game in the last three matches, and we expect another good performance, considering AS Roma W struggled defensively on the road. In seven road games, AS Roma W allowed 18 goals - 2.57 per game!
AS Roma have been fantastic for this type of bet on the road, scoring and conceding a lot of goals. They scored two or more goals in all seven road matches. Because of good offense, but also a bad defense, they went over 2.5 goals in six out of seven games, with both teams scoring in the same number of games.
Considering all the above, we expect an exciting high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
4 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Leuven W went over 2.5 goals in the last three games
- Leuven W scored two goals per game in the last three home games
- AS Roma W went over 2.5 goals in six out of seven road games
- AS Roma W scored two or more goals in all seven road matches
