- Chelsea FC Women are third in the Super League Women 2025/2026 standings with 33 points from 16 matches, while London City Lionesses are seventh with 19 points from 17 games.
- Chelsea FC Women have won four, drawn three and lost one of their eight away matches in the Super League Women 2025/2026.
Chelsea’s class to tell when Blues tackle Lionesses
Chelsea FC Women are in good form going into Saturday’s Super League Women clash with London City Lionesses and should have enough class to brush aside their hosts with a few goals.
The Blues have won their last four matches and four of their last five. The Lionesses have lost their last four games and won only one of their previous five in all competitions.
Sonia Bompastor has instilled a seamless playing style at Chelsea that is both flowing and intense with players pressing relentlessly and moving the ball in transition. They have plenty of width and can overload both flanks while their central players offer a host of options and passing angles.
London City Lionesses are a much more patient side that build from the back and like to keep the ball as much as possible. They have settled on a more balanced 4-2-3-1 system under Eder Maestre this term, which has helped them stay solid at the back and provided more vertical options when they can get the tempo up.
Thompson a threat in the number 10 position
Chelsea can score goals from all over the pitch, but young starlet Alyssa Thompson is their most clinical finisher in the attacking third right now. She has six goals in 14 Super League Women appearances and has bagged two of them in Chelsea’s last five matches.
Freya Godfrey leads the line for the Lionesses with four goals in 13 league appearances this season, but they lack a real spark in the final third. Chelsea will press them at every turn and could make them look foolish as they try to build their attacks patiently from the back.
The Blues’ class should tell in this contest and, at 7/25, the visitors are a very short price indeed. London City are a big price at 81/10 to win and it is hard to see them doing so.
Blues can get plenty of joy in London
London City Lionesses have three wins and five defeats from eight home matches in the Super League Women 2025/2026, while the away Blues have only lost once. The hosts have lost their last three at this venue in all competitions and we think Chelsea can run away with this game.
There’s enough evidence to take over 2.5 goals in this game at 1/2 and it should be an open contest as long as the hosts are brave enough to come out and challenge.
