Preview: Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Women's Champions League 2025-26 Quarter-final second leg

The Blues have failed to secure a win in their last three outings against the Gunners.

Chelsea FC Women are now going to battle it out against Arsenal Women FC in what is going to be their second leg quarter-final contest of the 2025-26 UEFA Women’s Champions League.

The Blues are down by two goals, but being at home will be an added advantage for them. They secured a 4-3 win against Aston Villa Women in their previous Women’s Super League game.

The Sonia Bompastor-led side will be eager to use this momentum to their advantage. The second leg of their UWCL quarterfinal will be a tough one for the Chelsea women.

Renée Slegers’ Arsenal have a two-goal advantage in their hands. It is surely a big advantage for them.

The visitors must not let the Blues take many chances. The Gunners are on a top run of form at the moment and are going to be full of confidence for their next outing, despite being away from home.
