Arsenal will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they resume their Champions League campaign against Valerenga at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening. Both sides are yet to earn their first point in the competition with the Royal Blues currently third in Group C, while the Gunners are bottom of the standings. Check out our match prediction below.
Arsenal’s Champions League campaign got off to the worst possible start last week when they travelled to Germany and were handed a 5-2 shellacking by Bayern Munich.
While losing to the Frauen-Bundesliga champions is not the worst result imaginable, the greater concern for the Gunners is that they seem to be in a bit of a slump. After losing to Chelsea at the weekend, the North Londoners are now winless in three games and conceded two or more in each of the last two.
Additionally, those results also mean that after four weeks in the WSL, the Gunners have managed just five points and are in sixth place, already trailing the leaders by five points.
Despite this, the English outfit are heavily fancied to get the victory in this match.
Valeranga are competing in their first ever Champions League competition but they are a possible dark horse in this group. Indeed, they did lose to Juventus last week, but they more than held their own, managing 58% possession as well as 25 shots at goal compared to their opponents’ 14.
Notably, that loss to Juve is the only one the side has suffered in any competition since the start of June.

Our Arsenal vs Vaalerenga Oslo Prediction
Many, including ourselves, were left surprised by the performance Valerenga put on against Juventus last week, and in fairness, they were perhaps a little unlucky to come away from the match empty-handed.
Arsenal have been far from convincing over the last couple of weeks, and while we expect they will win this match, we fancy the visitors to keep the margin under three. Our Arsenal vs Valerenga prediction: Valerenga +3!
