St. Pölten Women will face Juventus Women at the NV Arena on Tuesday in the penultimate round of the 2025-26 UEFA Women's Champions League's league phase. The home side head into the midweek clash on the back of big wins over RB Salzburg Women and Neulengbach Women in their domestic campaign, and will be looking to carry that momentum into continental action.
St. Pölten collected a valuable point in their most recent UWCL outing, holding a much stronger Valerenga Women side to a 2-2 draw. They were placed under heavy pressure early on and fell two goals behind inside the opening 20 minutes, but goals from Kess Elmore and Jennifer Klein on either side of the interval capped off an impressive fightback.
Juventus Women, meanwhile, found themselves on the wrong end of a comeback in their last European outing, playing out a 3-3 draw with OL Lyon. Goals from Chiara Beccari, Michela Cambiaghi and Tatiana Pinto, had Le Bianconere in complete control at the interval before a slack second-half showing saw them concede three times and drop two valuable points.
The visitors now sit eighth in the table with seven points and will eliminate their hosts from the Champions League with a win on Tuesday, while also strengthening their own top-four bid.

St. Pölten Women vs Juventus Women Prediction
St. Pölten head into the midweek clash in fine form but remain massive underdogs for this one and will need something extraordinary to avoid defeat on Tuesday.
Juventus are undefeated in their last five games and have lost just one of their last eight. Their performances on the road of late have been far from spectacular but they should have enough quality to win comfortably in Austria this week.
