The 2025-26 season is almost over but there’s still some things to be decided. The Champions League final two are confirmed, and the domestic leagues are wrapping up.
We entered the new campaign off the back of the 2025 Women’s European Championship, successfully defending their crown.
The Lionesses beat Spain Women on penalties in the final to retain the crown they won for the first time in 2022. It made them just the second nation to retain the Women’s European Championship after Germany.
But that’s now history, and league champions are starting to be crowned. Here are our women’s football predictions, betting tips, and expert analysis.
Women’s Super League
We’ve got just one gameweek left of the 2025-26 WSL season, and Manchester City have been crowned champions. Chelsea went into the campaign as defending champions, having won six league titles in a row. Last season, they broke the record for most points in a season (60) and were the first team to go through a 22-game campaign unbeaten. It was a significant achievement for Chelsea, who were undertaking their first season without Emma Hayes. Arsenal finished as runners-up with Manchester United completing the top three.
But Man City wrapped up the title with a game to spare. The Citizens have had a strong first season under Andree Jeglertz, winning 17 of their opening 21 games. They lost their opening game against Chelsea, but went on to win 14 of their next 16 matches. Man City dropped points in two of their past four to make a nervy finish, but the damage was done early on.
Chelsea have secured a top-three finish and a spot in next season’s Champions League. Arsenal and Man Utd battle it out for the final spot, with the Gunners in full control of that battle.
Women’s Champions League
Arsenal ended the 2024-25 campaign as European champions. The Gunners beat Barcelona to win the Champions League for the second time in their history. Stina Blackstenius scored the only goal of the final in Lisbon, ending Barcelona’s recent grip on the Champions League.
The 2025-26 season brought a new format for the Women’s Champions League. After just a few years of a group stage, the Women’s Champions League has changed again to mimic the men’s format. Instead of four groups of four, 18 team were placed in one league for the new phase. Each team played six games, with the top four advancing automatically to the quarter-finals. Teams placed fifth to 12th contested the play-offs for the final four spots.
Barcelona, Lyon, Chelsea and Bayern Munich finished in the top four, sealing automatical qualification to the quarter-finals. The former three all finished the group stage unbeaten. Arsenal and Man Utd just missed out on the top four, but were seeded for the knockout phase play-offs. And both sides got through, setting up some interesting ties.
Arsenal beat Chelsea in the quarter-finals, while Man Utd were knocked out by Bayern Munich. The Gunners’ title defence came to an end against Lyon, while Barcelona beat Bayern Munich in the other semi-final. So the most successful side in Women’s Champions League history, and the recent dominators, will face off in the final in May.

Women’s football predictions
Today’s women’s football tips
We will look at add a tips box for the biggest games in women’s football.
Our betting previews include our tips, of course, but they also include the odds from a host of different bookmakers, our key stats ahead of the fixture, the predictions of our expert writers and a look back at previous meetings between the two clubs.
Women’s football in-play betting tips
In-play betting has become more and more popular by year, and it’s no different for women’s football. As interest and access grows, a lot of punters will be watching each and every game live, given ample opportunity for some in-play betting.
That means you’ll be able to place bets based on how the match is flowing before your eyes, whether you fancy a defender to nick an unlikely goal or the star forward is looking dangerous and you want to back her to strike next.
And what’s more, with most bookmakers also offering cash out on bets, you can react to the action to cash out for a portion of your potential winnings before the game is over.
Full-time results
The most popular market on any sportsbook, a full-time result bet is as simple as it sounds – you’re betting on the eventual outcome of the game.
For women’s football whichever way you see a game heading, you can bet on the outcome with the full-time results market. Of course, in the knockout stages of the Champions League, you’ll be betting on the result after 90 minutes — not including extra-time and penalties.
You can even bet on which team will win each half or be leading at a certain point. There are also correct score markets, where you can bet on the exact result at full-time, or indeed half-time.
To score and win tips
You might get more value on those short-price odds for the favourites by combining your team to win tip with a goalscorer tip!
Of course, there are plenty of goalscoring markets available regardless, including first scorer, any time scorer, last scorer, to score two or more and many others. Bunny Shaw is running away as the top scorer of the WSL in 2025-26.
Both teams to score
Exactly what it says on the tin – both teams must score in the 90 minutes for your bet to come in.
These are particularly popular bets to place as multiples, when you’re betting on for example four games and essentially eight different teams to score. Easy pickings with some of the attacking talent set to be on show!
Over 2.5 goals
Similar to the BTTS market, in these markets you’re betting on more than two goals to be scored in the game, which can be particularly popular if you’re expecting a thumping win for one side – or if you’re backing both teams to be on the scoresheet a lot.
Of course, you can also bet on Under 2.5 goals if you’re expecting a lower-scoring game, or you can change the parameters to bet on Under or Over 1.5, 3.5 or 4.5 goals and more.
Double chance
Think the bookies have got the odds all wrong and fancy those underdogs to get the better of their more illustrious opponents?
The double chance bet is perfect for this kind of hunch, as it allows you simply to bet on a team not to lose, giving you both the victory on your chosen team and the draw within the odds.
Bookings
It is often said that officiating in women’s football still has to catch up with regards to harsh decisions, with many fans feeling fouls are often waved away wrongly when they would have been given in the men’s game. This has led to bad injuries, as players look to get as close to the line as possible, knowing they are less likely to be punished.
There are plenty of markets available here, from total bookings, overs and under markets and which team will pick up the first booking in a game. Plus, you can even bet on whether a specific match will feature a red card.
There are also markets available on specific players to be carded or even sent off in a game.
Corners taken
Most bookmakers now offer bet-builder style markets where you can combine different bets from corners, cards, goals and result markets to create a specific, bespoke bet on the game.
But corner markets are worth backing themselves and you can bet on a certain amount of corners in the game, overs and unders markets, team specific amounts and who will win the first corner among other bets.
Women’s football VAR specials
VAR is used sparingly in women’s club football, only really used in the Champions League.
