Wolfsburg Women will welcome Arsenal Women to the Volkswagen Arena for the second leg of their UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinal tie on Thursday.
The tie is firmly in the balance, with both sides having played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg last week. Carlotte Wubben-Moy's late equalizer helped the Gunners snatch a draw, having gone behind to Tabea Wassmuth's first-half opener for Wolfsburg.
The Germans followed up the draw with a 4-1 away victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Women's Bundesliga on Saturday. Jill Roord's first-half brace inspired the victory for her team.
Arsenal have not been in action since the draw in front of their fans last Wednesday.

Wolfsburg Women vs Arsenal Women Prediction
The first leg was a fairly balanced game and the 1-1 draw was a perfect representation of the tight game. It also left it all to play for in the second leg and both sides are likely to go all out in a bid to qualify for the last four.
Another close encounter can be expected, but home advantage gives Wolfsburg a slight edge. We are backing the hosts to secure a narrow victory, with goals to be scored at both ends.
Prediction: Wolfsburg Women 2-1 Arsenal Women
