Wolfsburg also topped Group B with a 4-2-0 record to tally 14 points and a +14 goal-differential. They dominated Roma, St. Polten, and Slavia Praha in the group matches, scoring 19 goals while conceding five.

Their home record is a convincing 8-0-1 record, tallying 38 goals in their travels.

They have a positive record against the Gunners, having not tasted defeat against the London outfit in six previous meetings. They have 11 goals tallied during that stretch, including five goals and three wins at home in the AOK Stadion.

Why Arsenal Can Beat Wolfsburg
The Gunners are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United in the Women’s Super League last weekend. Alessia Russo’s strike in first-half injury time settled the top-of-the-table clash.
Arsenal has not been at its best in recent weeks, particularly on their travels. That does not augur well for their victory hopes as they seek a second continental crown. The Gunners are currently in third place in the WSL, six points behind Manchester United and two points below Chelsea. Their 12-2-3 record saw them score 40 goals in the competition. Their away record in England stands at 5-1-2, tallying 17 goals in their travels. Arsenal is still in the title race, but their chances are not as good as those of Man United and Chelsea.
Arsenal saw off Bayern Munich in a 2-1 scoreline to book their spot in the last four. Arsenal topped Group C of the competition with a 4-1-1 record, recording 19 goals while giving up only five. In six group matches, they won over Lyon, Juventus, and Zurich. They have a chance to reach their first final of the competition since 2007 when they won their only title.
Frida Maanum, Victoria Pelova, Stina Blackstenius, and Caitlin Foord are expected to lead the attack for the Gunners. Maanum has five goals and three assists in this competition to lead her squad. Foord has four goals and two assists while Blackstenius has three goals and two dimes.
Final Wolfsburg-Arsenal Prediction & Pick
Wolfsburg’s dominating run in the competition will still persist as they hope the English squad. A lot of goals are expected to be seen but the hosts will get on top.
