Valerenga Women and Arsenal Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League fixture on Thursday (December 12th). The game will be played at Intility Arena.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 away win over Rosenborg in the final of the Norwegian Women's Cup final. Sara Horte's 62nd-minute strike guided her side to the trophy.
Arsenal, meanwhile, thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 at home in the Women's Super League. Alessia Russo opened and wrapped up the scoring, with Bethany Mead and Stina Blackstenius scoring in between.
The Gunners will shift their attention to the continent, where their last game came in a 1-0 home win over Juventus. Valerenga played out a 1-1 draw at home to Bayern Munich.
The stalemate saw them register their first points on the board in Group C while Arsenal are second on nine points.

Valerenga Women vs Arsenal Women Prediction
Valerenga have been eliminated from the Women's Champions League and will be aiming to claim a win in their final home game. They memorably held Bayern Munich to a draw last time out, with the Bavarians having won their preceding three games in the group.
Arsenal booked their spot in the knockout rounds with their win over Juventus on matchday three. However, Renee Slegers' side will have their sights on claiming top spot in the group ahead of Bayern Munich and a win here would set up the final matchday to decide the group winner.
Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We are backing the visitors to cruise to a comfortable win and clean sheet.
