Valerenga preview: Only one win in last five
Valerenga have only picked up a single point from their five group games in the Champions League this season.
The Norwegian club played host to Arsenal on matchday five and ended up losing the game 3-1 which left Valerenga sitting bottom of Group C with one match to play.
Valerenga haven't been in action since that defeat against the Gunners while Juve have played and won against Fiorentina in their domestic league.
Predicted lineup: Enblom (GK), Sandnes Olsen, Horte, Kovacs, Vickius, Tvedten, Tennebo, Heioarsdottir, Saevik, Thomsen & Stolen Godo

Player to watch: Sofia Cantore
Sofia Cantore has impressed for Juve this season but neither Cantore nor any of her teammates have done themselves proud in the Champions League proper.
Cantore has scored seven goals in 12 appearances in the Women's Serie A this season and while the 25-year-old has scored three times in seven Champions League appearances, two of those goals arrived in qualifying.
Cantore has stood out in the Champions League for Juve
Cantore scored the winner against Valerenga in Oslo and we're backing the Italian forward to put in a big performance on Wednesday night just when her team really needs it.
