FC Twente Women vs Chelsea Women predictions

Chelsea Women have enjoyed a perfect start to life under new manager Sonia Bompastor, but there is a sense that they have yet to really cut lose, and we could see that when they head to the Netherlands for a Champions League group clash with FC Twente.

The odds suggest they should be in for a comfortable win, but the Blues have been made to work in three of their four seasonal outings – a 7-0 win over Crystal Palace was the exception – and it seems about time they started going through the gears.

Arsenal arguably enjoyed the better chances in Sunday's 2-1 win for Bompastor's side at the Emirates – the expected-goals score of 2.6-1.1 suggests just that – but they are unbeaten in their last ten matches in this competition and the trip should be negotiated with minimal fuss.

Twente make their group-stage debut – they lost 7-0 on aggregate to Wolfsburg in the last-16 five years ago – but they could struggle to keep a lid on the Women's Super League champions despite claiming a 2-0 win at Celtic last week.

Seven of Chelsea's last nine group away matches have featured at least three goals and the Londoners should build on their 3-2 opening success over Real Madrid with another high-scoring win.
