Chelsea Women v Arsenal Women: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Chelsea have dropped just two points in the Women’s Super League so far this season, but with Arsenal looking for revenge following a 2-1 loss to the champions at the Emirates, the Gunners should have nothing to fear after some strong form under new manager Renee Slegers.

Draw or Arsenal double chance - 5/6

Everyone associated with Chelsea Women will be delighted with the way the players have adjusted to life under Sonia Bompastor following Emma Hayes’s departure, but they look set to have a tough assignment on Sunday when they welcome their chief Women’s Super League rivals Arsenal to Stamford Bridge.

The champions have dropped just two points all season and have already beaten the Gunners 2-1 at the Emirates, but there has been a transformation at the north London outfit and they should be quietly confident that they can get something from this league trip across the capital.

It has been a season of change at Arsenal with Renee Slegers being confirmed this week as Jonas Eidevall’s permanent replacement after she steadied the ship following a turbulent start to the campaign.

And they have got their act together, winning their last 10 matches, including a 3-2 win over Frauen Bundesliga holders Bayern Munich in the UEFA Women’s Champions League , so they should have nothing to fear from a trip to the Bridge.

Chelsea have won all five of their home league games this season, but both Tottenham and Brighton scored twice against them and they were made to battle against Aston Villa and both Manchester clubs, so it is worth chancing that the Gunners can earn at least a draw.

Under 2.5 goals - 1/1

There is usually the anticipation that these games will generate plenty of goals, but that may not be the case on this occasion.

Arsenal’s defending under Slegers has been particularly impressive as they have conceded just one goal in their last seven league games, so they plainly possess the resolve to keep Chelsea at arm’s length.

Bompaster’s charges have scored 36 goals in their 11 league games this season, but some of their home games have been proper scraps, such as when they battled their way to a 2-0 win over Manchester City, who were fighting with them for league leadership at the time before Gareth Taylor’s side slipped away.

They also had to be content with 1-0 wins over Aston Villa, in their first home game of the season, and Manchester United, so this could prove to be a tense affair.

Alessia Russo anytime goalscorer - 12/5

Despite the strong chance that this could be a game with few goals, it would be foolhardy to ignore the goalscoring claims of Arsenal’s Alessia Russo.

The Lioness striker has scored 11 goals in her last 12 appearances for the Gunners and had a total of 15 shots on target in her last eight games, so confidence is clearly not an issue.

Russo had four goal attempts when Arsenal fell to their 2-1 defeat to the champions in October and there looks a strong chance she will have a prominent role to play this week, so an offer of 12/5 that she continues her excellent goalscoring form looks too big to turn down.
