Chelsea Women will face Roma Women at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday in the penultimate round of the 2025-26 UEFA Women's Champions League's league phase. The home side suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Everton in the Women’s Super League on Sunday and have gone three games without a win for the first time since last March.
Following dominant wins over Paris FC Women and St. Pölten Women, Chelsea hosted Barcelona Women in their last UWCL outing but had to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw. Elle Carpenter opened the scoring for the Blues in the 16th minute before the visitors equalized later in the half, with a largely uneventful second period offering little to separate the sides.
Roma Women, meanwhile, have failed to find their rhythm in their continental campaign this season, suffering defeats in each of their first three Champions League outings. They earned their first point of the tournament in a disappointing 1-1 draw against Oud-Heverlee Leuven Women last time out, with Evelyne Viens' early opener canceled out by their opponents shortly after the restart.
The visitors, who sit 16th in the table, are seven points behind their midweek opponents and will crash out of the tournament should they fail to narrow the gap on Wednesday.

Chelsea Women vs Roma Women Prediction
The Blues' loss to Everton on Sunday marked their first defeat of the campaign, and they will be seeking to respond convincingly this week. They are overwhelming favorites for this fixture and will be further boosted by their home advantage.
Le Giallorosse have registered two wins and two draws in their last four outings. They are, however, set to face one of the strongest sides in the Champions League this week and could suffer defeat.
