Chelsea – Women’s Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Chelsea head into Wednesday’s encounter following three consecutive WSL victories, scoring 12 goals during that run. The Blues followed impressive wins over West Ham and Tottenham with a 3-1 success at Crystal Palace on Sunday. They’ll be hoping to carry that attacking form into Europe against Italian opposition.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last 26 Champions League group or league-phase matches (W20, D6). Chelsea opened this season’s campaign with a 1-0 victory over Austria Vienna before holding Lyon to a goalless draw in France. They’ve also kept four clean sheets in their last five European outings.
Chelsea have an excellent record against Italian opposition, winning four and drawing one of their five previous European meetings. That includes a convincing 6-0 victory over Roma at Stamford Bridge last season. The Blues have also never conceded at home against a Serie A side and will be confident of maintaining that record on Wednesday.

AS Roma – Women’s Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Roma travel to London in excellent domestic form, having won three consecutive Serie A matches. The Italian champions followed victories over Lazio and AC Milan with an impressive 5-2 success away at Juventus on Saturday. They’ve scored 12 goals during that winning run, although European results have been less convincing.
The visitors are still searching for their first Champions League victory of the season. Roma opened with a goalless draw away at OH Leuven before suffering a heavy 6-0 home defeat against Barcelona. That result leaves them with plenty to prove ahead of another difficult European encounter.
Roma have struggled on their travels in this competition, failing to win any of their last six away group or league-phase matches (D2, L4). The Giallorosse reached the quarter-finals during their debut campaign in 2022/23 but have struggled to repeat that achievement, the visitors can be backed at a huge 10/1 to win here with William Hill.
