On Friday at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea Women and Paris Saint-Germain Women will square off for first place in their Women's Champions League group.
Chelsea has easily defeated a potentially challenging group this season after failing to get past the first round last year. In their five group games, they have won four and drawn one, including a convincing 4-0 victory over Vllaznia last week that guaranteed them a spot in the quarterfinals. Chelsea moved three points ahead of PSG at the top of the group with a comfortable victory in Albania thanks to goals from Sophie Ingle, Fran Kirby, Katerina Svitkova, and Maren Mjelde. Chelsea will be motivated to keep up their remarkable run of form even if they are aware that all they need to do to secure first position is avoid a loss by two goals or more. The Blues have gone undefeated in their previous 14 games across all competitions, and they have a chance to win three straight games on Thursday.
PSG defeated Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes last week to advance to the knockout stages, much like their hosts. Elisa de Almeida scored first, Kadidiatou Diani doubled the lead from the penalty spot around the hour mark, and even though Claudia Zornoza got one back for the Spanish team in the 81st minute, PSG held on to win by a slim margin of 2-1. PSG understands that in order to overtake Chelsea, who are three points behind them, they must win by a score of at least two goals. A 10-game unbeaten streak in all competitions has been started by Gerard Precheur’s team after they suffered a 1-0 loss to Chelsea on October 20. They have also triumphed in their previous seven matches in competitive play, despite Real Madrid snapping a streak of six straight clean sheets last week.
The lineups might be similar to their last matches as Beger, Charles, Bright many others from Chelsea side while Lawrence, Ilestedt , Diani and many more from PSG. Both teams will be ready with substituion depending on the plays and players conditions.
Chelsea possible line-up: Berger. Charles, Buchanan, Bright, Eriksson; Cuthbert, Ingle, Fleming; James, Reiten, Kerr
Paris Saint-Germain possible line-up: Bouhaddi, Lawrence, Ilestedt, De Almeida, Karchaoui; Geyoro, Hamraoui, Jean-Francois; Baltimore, Bachmann, Diani
