Chelsea vs Celtic prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 20, 2024
Chelsea FC Women
Celtic
One of the matches in the fourth round of the Women's Champions League group stage will be played on Wednesday in London, where Chelsea will host Celtic at Stamford Bridge. Here’s a betting suggestion with excellent chances of success.
Match Preview
Chelsea continues its dominance in the FA Women's Super League. The London club has claimed the league title for the fifth consecutive time and is solidifying its position as the leading club in England. The team has also made impressive strides in the Champions League, securing wins against Real Madrid (3-2), Twente (3-1), and Celtic (2-1).
In the FA Women's Super League, Chelsea continues its strong season, most recently demolishing Liverpool 3-0 away and defeating Manchester City 2-0 last weekend. Currently, Chelsea sits at the top of the league table, having earned a perfect 21 points from seven matches.
Celtic's women's team only recently claimed the Scottish championship, winning their first title last season. Unlike their male counterparts, who have long dominated Scottish football, Celtic's women have not yet established such a stronghold in the country. However, just participating in the Champions League is a significant achievement for the "Hoops."
Unfortunately, their group-stage campaign has not lived up to expectations. In the first match, they lost 0-2 to Twente, and in the second round, they were heavily defeated 0-4 by Real Madrid. In their third-round meeting, Celtic hosted Chelsea and lost 1-2. Celtic's start in the Scottish Women's Premier League has been less than ideal; after 13 rounds, they are in fifth place, trailing leaders Glasgow City by five points. Over the weekend, Celtic lost 2-3 at home to Rangers.
