- Team form: Chelsea (W) have won four consecutive matches in all competitions and were 2-0 winners at home to Manchester United (W) in the League Cup Women just one day before this weekend’s clash.
- Standings: The Blues sit third in the Super League Women 2025/2026 with 33 points from 16 games, while London City Lionesses are seventh on 19 points from 17.
- Away form: Chelsea (W) have won four, drawn three and lost just one of their eight away league games, scoring an average of 2.00 goals per game.
Chelsea can cut loose against Lionesses
Chelsea FC Women are going great with four consecutive wins in all competitions coming into their away game to London City this weekend. They are strong favorites at 1.28 to secure another win, while the Lionesses are 9.1 odds on to spring a big surprise.
Sonia Bompastor has done a quick job in setting up this club as a tactically astute and successful WSL outfit that can control possession with patience and cut teams apart on the counter-attack. Their 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 is fluid and adaptable, but the underlying philosophy is clear: control the game, play with purpose and press in moments.
London City’s 4-2-3-1 is similar in structure, but Eder Maestre’s relatively new philosophy - instilled since December 2025 - is one of playing with the ball, taking risks and trying to overload the centre of the field. It is a work in progress and Saturday’s game will be a test of their top-flight credentials and Chelsea’s own progress under their manager.
Bompastor’s Blues have a cutting edge
Match prediction
The Blues have more cutting edge and a proven track record of success, so our match prediction is for them to win this. Bompastor’s side are flying, especially after their 2-0 win at home to Man U one day ago, and London City have lost four in a row in all competitions and were beaten 2-0 at home by Arsenal (W) in their most recent Super League Women game.
Form and odds
So the odds about the game being ‘overs’ in terms of over 2.5 goals, at 1.5, also seem very favourable given both teams will be looking to attack this one.
- The Lionesses have won just three and lost five at home in the league, averaging 1.00 goals per match.
- Chelsea (W) have won four, drawn three and lost one of their away games in the league, averaging 2.00 per game.
Players to watch
In terms of players, Freya Godfrey is London City’s biggest threat with four goals in 13 league appearances in a season of change for the club, while Alyssa Thompson is Chelsea’s leading marksman with six in 14. Thompson has been in fine form recently with two in her last five, so we’re going for a 3-0 win for the visitors.
