Benfica to face Arsenal and Bayern in Women’s Champions League | OneFootball

Benfica have been handed a demanding Women’s Champions League group featuring Arsenal and Bayern Munich, two of Europe’s top five sides. Yet the group still offers genuine hope of qualifying.

According to Glorioso 1904, the six-time Portuguese champions, currently 12th in the European ranking, will also face Roma and Juventus, both ranked above them, while Austria Vienna and Køge appear more accessible.

Arsenal sit fifth in the European ranking, one place behind Bayern. Arsenal are European champions, having won the trophy in 2006/07 under the old format, and lifted it again two seasons ago in a final held in Lisbon.

Benfica’s record against Bayern is unfavourable, with four meetings yielding only one draw. That positive result came at home in their first encounter in 2021/22.

The record against Arsenal is also negative, the sides met once last season and Benfica lost 2-0 at home. Juventus won 2-1 in the only meeting between the clubs.
