Arsenal are preparing to take on Juventus in Italy for an important UEFA Women's Champions League showdown.

The Gunners had a turbulent start to their European 2024/25 campaign, falling to a heavy 5-2 defeat against Bayern Munich before turning the tides and claiming a 4-1 victory against Valerenga.

Arsenal will be eager to capitalise on that winning momentum as they turn their attention towards Juventus at Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo Lamarmora.

The Italian side occupy the third spot in their group standings, and a victory over the Gunners would see them steal second spot.

Here's 90min's preview of Tuesday's clash.

Following a 1-0 win over Valerenga on matchday one of the UWCL, manager Max Canzi made four changes to his Juventus side to face Bayern Munich. Wholesale changes were made to face the German giants, just three days after Juventus scraped an all-important 2-1 win over Roma in the Serie A. 

Sofia Cantore remains the only goalscorer for the Italian side in the competition so far.

The Gunners have struggled to maintain the fitness flow of their squad, with particular disruption being caused by the centre of defence. Lotte Wubben-Moy, Leah Williamson, and Steph Catley have all had treacherous fitness journeys this season, with Arsenal struggling to gain consistency in the centre back pairing as a result.

The Gunners will remain without Laura Wienroither for the game against Juventus. Interim head coach Renee Slegers has confirmed that Mariona Caldentey will be available after a muscle injury saw her ruled out of the club's clash with Brighton last weekend.

Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo Lamarmora will be certain to host an exciting clash, as the meeting arrives as no easy feat for either side. Juventus currently occupy top spot in the Serie A Femminile, and Max Canzi’s side will be hungry to steal the second spot in the group from Arsenal’s hands.

With the Women’s Super League title now almost certain to be out of reach, Arsenal will be eager to turn their complete attention toward the Champions League. After four games in the interim head coach role, Slegers will have her side fired up for the important game in Italy. Arsenal will be eager to deliver the first blow to Juventus of the reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium next week.

Prediction: Juventus 1-2 Arsenal
