Roma (W) vs Vålerenga (W) prediction, H2H and probable lineups - 11 November 2025
Roma
Vaalerenga
One of the fixtures of matchday three in the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage will take place on Monday at the Trevisio Sportivo stadium in Rome, where the local side Roma will host Norwegian outfit Vålerenga. Here’s a high-probability bet suggestion for this clash.
Match preview
Roma come into this encounter with a host of problems. The team suffered their first Serie A defeat of the season, losing heavily to Fiorentina (2-5), a result that not only dented their position in the league table but also hit morale ahead of this Champions League tie. In their first two group stage matches, Roma faced Real Madrid and Barcelona, losing both by a four-goal margin.
Further complicating matters for the Italian side are personnel issues. Several key players in defense and midfield are sidelined through injury, including one of their leading centre-backs. The team’s second top scorer may also miss out on the starting eleven. All of this reduces Roma's defensive resilience, which was already a concern—having conceded ten goals in just two group matches.
The Norwegian team arrives in Rome in high spirits. Prior to their trip to the Italian capital, Vålerenga secured a win in their domestic league against direct rivals Rosenborg. While the title in Norway is already out of reach, the end of the season has been positive for the club, and they need Champions League points to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Vålerenga’s main advantage lies in their settled lineup and the absence of injuries among key players. Their attacking duo of Tvedten and Sævik have been particularly dangerous, each bagging 19 goals this season. However, their away form in the Champions League has been shaky—four losses in their last six matches on the road. Still, they have found the net regularly, scoring in seven of their last ten away games in European competition.
Probable lineups
- Roma (W): Baldi, Veje, Valdezate, Heatley, Di Guglielmo, Rieke, Giugliano, Greggi, Pilgrim, Viens, Haavi
- Vålerenga (W): Enblom, Hørte, Kovacs, Pettersen, Hansen, Brekken, Tvedten, Vickius, Heiðarsdóttir, Sævik, Hegg
Match facts and head-to-head
- Nine of Roma’s last eleven Champions League matches have seen at least three goals scored.
- Vålerenga have found the net in seven of their last nine Champions League outings.
- The Norwegian side have lost four of their last six away games in the Champions League.
Prediction
Roma are the favorites going into this contest, but it won’t be a walk in the park—the hosts have plenty of defensive issues, and their opponents have the attacking quality to exploit those vulnerabilities. Vålerenga won’t shy away from going forward and are likely to create chances. Given the instability at the back for both teams, expect an open, high-scoring affair with Roma holding the edge.
