Blues will make the grade at Kingsmeadow
Current form and standing
Chelsea (W) have a record of 37 points from 18 games in the Super League Women 2025/2026, leaving them in third place. Sonia Bompastor has done a fine job since taking over in May 2024, building a possession-based football team around a deep-lying playmaker and creative full-backs.
Tactics and home record
They can play a number of different systems but her tactical philosophy is always clear and the Blues look a solid and well-organised team who rarely get turned over.
Chelsea (W) have won seven of their nine home league games, with their only two losses coming at Kingsmeadow.
Villa have yet to find consistency
They average 1.67 goals scored and only 0.56 conceded per home game, so there are good reasons to expect a home win in this Super League Women 2025/2026 game against a Villa side that are still coming to terms with Natalia Arroyo’s tactical preferences. Arroyo joined Villa in January 2025 and she has yet to fully embed her philosophy of an aggressive pressing game and rapid transitions on her team.
They are eighth in the table with 20 points from 18 league games and have yet to string together a run of consistent performances - either good or bad. Villa have won just one of their last 3 away and failed to win in both of their last two trips to Chelsea (W).
Chelsea (W) should control the match
Chelsea (W) should take the game to their visitors on Sunday and, providing they can control the ball, will be the dominant side. Villa will press them hard and will look to attack quickly when they win possession, so this game could become a tactical battle with the Blues looking to dominate possession while Villa try to disrupt them.
Expect the hosts to get a home victory and for there to be a few goals in the game - odds of 1.42 on the over 2.5 total goal line seem about right.
- Kirsty Hanson has scored 10 Super League Women goals this season in 18 appearances and should be considered a primary threat to Chelsea (W)’s defense on Sunday.
- With 3 of Villa’s last 7 league goals having been scored by her, taking the forward on offers some insurance against a shutout.
- Alyssa Thompson leads the scoring for Chelsea (W) with 7 in 16 league appearances and is a much more reliable goal source than any Villan.
