Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Women's Champions League match.
It's likely that the football community gives Celtic no chance of success in their home game against Chelsea. The Scottish side faltered against Real Madrid and Twente, whom the London team have already defeated, so in Glasgow, the favourites are expected to dominate from the first whistle.
Celtic (women)
In two Champions League group stage matches, Celtic have conceded a total of six goals without finding the net once. Against Real Madrid (0:4) in the second round, the team allowed 32 shots over 90 minutes (14 on target), while managing just one shot on target themselves. It's clear that the Glasgow side struggle to compete at the European level, and they are likely to continue losing.
Chelsea (women)
Unfortunately for Celtic, Chelsea have hit their stride ahead of this upcoming away fixture. Their victory over Liverpool (3:0) on Sunday marked their eighth consecutive win since the start of the season across all competitions. Real Madrid (3:2) and Twente (3:1) have posed some challenges to Chelsea, but the coaching staff doesn’t always field the starting lineup. Even with rotation, the London side should handle the underdogs.
Celtic (women) vs Chelsea (women) Prediction
Against Celtic, Chelsea are capable of hitting an individual total over 3.5 by halftime. The English side are too dangerous, and the hosts won't be able to offer any resistance.
