Juventus W vs SL Benfica W Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

Juventus W kick off their 2026 UEFA Champions League Women campaign at Stadio Vittorio Pozzo in Biella on 22 September 2026, facing SL Benfica W in a League Stage - 1 clash. With the Italian side already showing strong tournament statistics in recent fixtures and Benfica yet to register a competitive outing in this Champions League season, this opener could set the tone for both clubs’ European ambitions.

Juventus W arrive with encouraging numbers: unbeaten across four recent Champions League fixtures, scoring freely and keeping things relatively tight at the back. SL Benfica W, by contrast, enter this League Stage without any recorded 2026 fixtures in the competition, making them something of a tactical unknown but also placing extra pressure on their first outing. For bettors and fans searching for Juventus W vs SL Benfica W prediction and betting tips, this matchup offers a clear statistical favourite but also the intrigue of an opponent with no current-season data.

The sides met as recently as 07 October 2025 in the UEFA Champions League Women at Allianz Stadium, where Juventus W edged a 2-1 victory. That result, combined with Juventus W’s current offensive output, positions the hosts as the team to beat again in this League Stage opener.

Juventus W vs SL Benfica W Key Stats

  • Juventus W are unbeaten in their last 4 Champions League fixtures in the current statistical sample, with 3 wins and 1 draw, scoring 9 and conceding 3.
  • The only recent head-to-head meeting listed saw Juventus W beat SL Benfica W 2-1 on 07 October 2025 in the UEFA Champions League Women at Allianz Stadium.
  • In their recent Champions League statistics, Juventus W average 2.3 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match across 4 fixtures, with 1 clean sheet.

Group standings and points are not yet available for this League Stage - 1 fixture, but the broader Champions League statistics give a clear indication of momentum. Juventus W have played 4 recent Champions League fixtures, winning 3 and drawing 1, while scoring 9 goals and conceding just 3. That combination of attacking productivity and defensive control underpins their status as favourites.

SL Benfica W, on the other hand, have no recorded fixtures in the 2026 Champions League statistics so far. With zero goals scored, zero conceded, and no wins, draws or losses logged yet, their current European level is harder to benchmark. This lack of data increases uncertainty but also underlines how much more battle-hardened Juventus W appear going into this opener.

Juventus W vs SL Benfica W Key Matchups

C. Beccari vs Nycole Raysla

Without explicit top scorers or assists data, the focus shifts to positional profiles. For Juventus W, attacker C. Beccari (number 9, age 21) represents the classic focal point in the front line, fitting well with the team’s preferred 3-4-3 shape in recent Champions League fixtures. Juventus W’s 9 goals in 4 matches, combined with an average of 2.0 goals per home game, suggest that their central attackers are regularly supplied with chances.

For SL Benfica W, Nycole Raysla (number 9, age 25) is a key attacking reference. With Benfica yet to log any 2026 Champions League goals, her role as a mobile forward will be crucial in exploiting any space behind Juventus W’s three-player back line. The duel between the two number 9s could define which side converts limited opportunities in what may initially be a cautious group-stage encounter.

M. Lenzini vs Diana Silva

Juventus W defender M. Lenzini (number 71, age 27) brings experience to a back line that has conceded only 3 goals in 4 recent Champions League fixtures, averaging 0.8 goals against per match. In a 3-4-3 system, her ability to defend wide areas and cover channels is vital, especially given Juventus W’s tendency to push wing-backs high.

Opposite her, SL Benfica W attacker Diana Silva (number 17, age 30) offers pace and direct running from advanced positions. With Benfica’s defensive record still a blank slate in the current statistics, their best route into the game may be quick transitions and one-on-ones, where Silva’s experience can test Juventus W’s defensive structure. How Lenzini handles those duels could go a long way to preserving Juventus W’s strong defensive averages.

Head-to-Head: Last Meetings

The recent head-to-head history between these sides is limited but instructive, with Juventus W holding the edge from their only listed encounter.

Juventus W vs SL Benfica W Prediction

Stats suggest Juventus W should control much of this League Stage opener. They come in with strong recent Champions League form: 3 wins and 1 draw from 4, 9 goals scored, and only 3 conceded. Their goal distribution shows they can score in multiple phases of the game, with a significant share coming between 31–45 minutes and additional strikes spread across both halves.

SL Benfica W enter with no recorded 2026 Champions League fixtures, making their current level difficult to quantify. The head-to-head from October 2025, a 2-1 Juventus W home win, and the comparison indices both lean heavily towards the Italian side. The prediction model gives Juventus W a 50% chance of victory, with a 50% probability of a draw and 0% for a Benfica win, underlining the perception that the visitors will struggle to take all three points away from home.

Given the under/over guidance pointing to a conservative total goals angle and the advice combining a Juventus W win with a low-scoring game, this looks more like a controlled home performance than a goal-fest.

Predicted Score: Juventus W 1-0 SL Benfica W

Juventus W Recent Form

Juventus W’s recent Champions League form is excellent. Across 4 fixtures they have 3 wins and 1 draw, with no defeats. They average 2.3 goals scored per match and 0.8 conceded, have kept 1 clean sheet, and have yet to fail to score. Their biggest wins in this sample include a 3-1 home victory and a 3-0 away success, underlining both home and away effectiveness.

SL Benfica W Recent Form

SL Benfica W have no recorded fixtures in the 2026 Champions League statistics, leaving their recent European form unknown. With 0 matches played, 0 goals scored, and 0 conceded in this dataset, they come into the League Stage without a measurable track record in this campaign, adding uncertainty but also making this opener a key benchmark.

Juventus W Possible Starting Lineup

GK: D. de Jong or L. Rusek
Defenders: M. Lenzini, C. Salvai, Estela Carbonell, F. D´Auria, K. Sylla, E. Bertero
Midfielders: M. Rosucci, Tatiana Pinto, L. Khelifi, Abi Brighton, M. Pavan, D. Noordman, E. Stølen Godø, A. Serturini, E. Schatzer, J. Bartel, Cristina Librán, R. Viljamaa
Forwards: B. Bonansea, Alba Redondo, Ana Capeta, C. Beccari, R. Chiba, E. Mece

Juventus W have frequently lined up in a 3-4-3 shape in recent Champions League fixtures, with that formation used in 3 matches. The squad list shows good depth in midfield and attack, with multiple experienced options such as M. Rosucci, Tatiana Pinto, B. Bonansea and Alba Redondo to support central forwards like C. Beccari or Ana Capeta. Defensively, the presence of seasoned players like M. Lenzini and C. Salvai should help maintain the team’s strong record of just 3 goals conceded in 4 games.

SL Benfica W Possible Starting Lineup

GK: L. Pauels or M. Bihina
Defenders: Catarina Amado, Carole Costa, Diana Gomes, Ines Meninas, M. Bratberg Lund, T. Testen
Midfielders: Andreia Norton, Pauleta, C. Møller, B. Cameirao, L. Almeida, A. Csiki, N. Guedes, M. Loucao, M. Matos, C. Tristao
Forwards: Nycole Raysla, Diana Silva, Lúcia Alves, Clarinha, C. Davidson, A. Schafer

SL Benfica W’s lineup data does not include a preferred formation for this Champions League season, but the squad balance suggests options for both back-four and back-three systems. Experienced defenders like Carole Costa and Diana Gomes can anchor the back line, while midfielders such as Andreia Norton and Pauleta provide technical quality. In attack, players like Nycole Raysla, Diana Silva and C. Davidson give Benfica pace and variety, which they will need to exploit quickly on transitions against a well-organised Juventus W side.

Betting Tips: Juventus W vs SL Benfica W

Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:

  • Result Tip: Juventus W to win or draw (Double Chance). With Juventus W given a 50% chance of victory and a 50% chance of a draw, and SL Benfica W rated at 0% to win in the prediction probabilities, backing the hosts not to lose looks the safest angle. The unbeaten run of 3 wins and 1 draw in recent Champions League fixtures reinforces this conservative result-based approach. (Odds: not available in the current data.)
  • Goals Tip: Under 3.5 total goals. The advisory line combines a Juventus W win with under 3.5 goals, and their recent Champions League matches show only 2 of 4 going over 2.5, with none over 3.5. Juventus W average 2.3 goals scored and 0.8 conceded, suggesting controlled rather than explosive scorelines, while Benfica’s current campaign data is blank. A cautious, lower-scoring opener fits the statistical and tactical profile. (Odds: not available in the current data.)
  • Value Tip: Juventus W to win and under 3.5 goals (result and total combo). The prediction advice explicitly points to a combo of Juventus W as winner with a low goal line, which aligns with their strong attack, solid defence, and Benfica’s lack of recent Champions League data. Given Juventus W’s ability to manage games and the historical 2-1 scoreline in the last head-to-head, a narrow home win in a match staying under 4 goals offers potential value. (Odds: not available in the current data.)
