Austria Wien host Juventus in Vienna on Thursday, 29 October 2026, at 18:45 CET (14:45 Brasília time) in Matchday 3 of the 2026/27 UEFA Women's Champions League league phase. The Austrian side enter with 1 point and the Italian visitors with 3 points, according to UEFA results checked on 25 October.

That distinction matters: Juventus do not yet have six league-phase points. They lost their opener and won their second match. Six points is a possible total only if they beat Austria Wien on Matchday 3. Qualifying-round results do not count towards this tally.

The four previous results and where each match was played

Both teams have played two league-phase matches. Austria Wien began with an away defeat to Chelsea before earning their first point in a home draw against Inter. Juventus lost to Benfica at home, then recovered with a 3-0 victory away to Häcken in Sweden.

Across two league-phase matches per club, Austria Wien have scored once and conceded twice, for a goal difference of -1. Juventus have scored four and conceded two, for a difference of +2. All three Italian goals at Häcken came after half-time, according to Juventus' own match report. These figures describe the opening two games; they do not predict the upcoming result.

What would a win, draw or defeat change?

Applying three points for a win and one for a draw to the current totals gives the following immediate outcomes for the two clubs:

None of these results would, on its own, guarantee qualification or elimination. The competition has 18 clubs in a single league table, with six games for each club. At the end of the league phase, the top four go straight to the quarter-finals, teams finishing fifth to 12th enter the knockout play-offs, and those ranked 13th to 18th are eliminated. Positions after Matchday 3 will also depend on other results and tiebreakers.

An Austrian debut and Italian experience

This is Austria Wien's first appearance in the competition's main stage. They reached it by beating Brann 5-2 on aggregate in the third qualifying round. Juventus reached the league phase after a 4-1 aggregate victory over St. Pölten in the same qualifying round. Those aggregate results explain how the clubs reached this stage but do not add points to the league standings.

According to UEFA's background article published on 23 October, this will be the first meeting between Austria Wien and Juventus. The hosts have already met an Italian opponent in this league phase, drawing with Inter, while Juventus' previous four games against Austrian clubs were all against St. Pölten.

After 29 October, Austria Wien travel to Benfica on 11 November while Juventus host OL Lyonnes on the same date. Both will still have three other games to play after Matchday 3, so the Vienna result alone cannot decide either campaign's final standing.
