Wolfsburg Women will host Juventus Women at the AOK Stadion on Thursday in the first leg of the knockout phase playoffs of the 2025-26 UEFA Women’s Champions League campaign. Since returning from the winter break in late January, the home side have seen two of their three league matches postponed due to weather conditions and will hope the extra time afforded them proves beneficial this week.
Wolfsburg hosted Chelsea Women in their final UWCL league phase outing back in December, starting strong and taking the lead via an Alexandra Popp strike. However, they failed to hold on to their advantage, ultimately slumping to a 2-1 defeat, which marked their third loss in the league phase and saw them finish ninth in the table.
Thanks for the submission!
Juventus Women, meanwhile, are in fine domestic form at the moment, having picked up three straight wins in the Serie A Femminile while also advancing to the Coppa Italia semifinals, all within the past three weeks.
Their results on the continental stage this term, however, have not been as consistent, most notably suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United Women in their final league phase outing, which ultimately cost them direct passage to the Champions League quarterfinals.

Wolfsburg Women vs Juventus Women Prediction
Die Wölfinnen have collected seven wins from their last nine games across all competitions. Boasting the stronger side on paper, Wolfsburg will be targeting a statement result this week to potentially kill off the tie ahead of the second leg in Italy next week.
Despite their strong form, Le Bianconere remain massive underdogs heading into the midweek clash and will primarily look to stay within touching distance of their opponents, with a view to finishing the job at home next week.
