Arsenal Women welcome Rangers Women to Meadow Park for a Women's UEFA Champions League qualifier on Wednesday. The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in a friendly a week ago.
Sandy Baltimore stepped off the bench at the break and scored the match-winner three minutes later.
Rangers, meanwhile, dispatched Dundee United Women with a 10-0 away thrashing in the SWPL 1 over the weekend. The Blue Belles were 7-0 up at the break, with Katie Wilkinson scoring a hat-trick while Laura Berry scored a brace. The 17-year-old completed her hat-trick in the 77th minute while Kirsty Howat, Tessel Middag and Rio Hardy scored a goal each in the rout.
Jo Potter's side will turn their focus to the continent, where they booked their spot at this stage of the qualifiers courtesy of their runners-up finish in the SWPL 1 last season. Arsenal finished third in the WSL.
The winner of this tie will face either Atletico Madrid or Rosenborg for a place in the next stage of the qualifiers.
