Chelsea Women v Leicester City Women: Free Tips, Prediction and Odds

Chelsea Women had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Brighton at Crawley on Sunday and will be anxious to get back to winning ways when they host Leicester City.

Wednesday's visitors are the only other team to have taken a point against the Blues in this season's Women's Super League but the Foxes face a tough task having failed to win any of their last 12 away matches.

Chelsea to win & under 3.5 goals - 13/10

Chelsea saw their lead at the top of the Women's Super League cut to five points last weekend.

While that is not a big cause for alarm in the camp, it should ensure Sonia Bompastor's team are fully focused when they entertain Leicester on Wednesday.

The champions had to be content with a 2-2 draw against Brighton, which allowed Manchester United to gain some ground after their 2-0 win over the Foxes, who are the only team other than Brighton to have earned anything in a league game against the champions this term.

December's 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium provides some encouragement for the visitors, but they have struggled on the road, losing their last six games on their travels and are winless in their last 12.

They have scored just twice in their eight league games this term, and that means we may not see many goals in this clash despite Chelsea's superior ability.

It could pay to go for a home win with fewer than four goals, which has happened in five of Chelsea's seven home games.

That run includes tight wins over the two Manchester clubs and Arsenal. They are superior opposition to the team the Blues face on Wednesday, but the champions may not run riot.

Lauren James to score at any time - 10/11

One of the biggest boosts Chelsea have had in the last few weeks has been the return of Lauren James just in time for their assault on the UEFA Women's Champions League, where they face Manchester City in the quarter-finals.

The Blues had to do without the England playmaker for three months while she nursed a calf injury but she is back with a bang.

James has started the last three WSL games and has made a key contribution in the last two, scoring the late winner against Everton and the equaliser that was enough to earn their point at Brighton at the weekend.

The former Manchester United star has had 13 shots on goal in her last three games, four of which were on target against the Seagulls.

This looks a great opportunity for the 23-year-old to score for the third successive match.

Over 10.5 corners - 5/6

Although a one-side game is expected on Wednesday, there is still plenty of scope for the clash at Kingsmeadow to feature plenty of corners.

Chelsea's games tend to have far more than any other WSL team, with an average of 12.4 per outing, with the next highest in the women's top flight being West Ham's 10.73.

Leicester's matches muster only 8.73 but 10 of Chelsea's last 15 in the league have featured at least 12.

Therefore, it is worth taking a chance that there will be more than ten when Bompastor's team take on the struggling Foxes.
