Betting Preview: Latest Results and Roster Updates
Chelsea FC Women
Chelsea Women made history last season by winning the WSL title unbeaten, and they set a record high for the most points in one season (60). The Blues also managed to win the Women’s FA League Cup and the Women’s FA Cup title. This was their first season without coach Emma Hayes in 13 years.
Chelsea Ladies are coming off a big 4-1 home win over AC Milan W in a friendly game. The Blues have shown in the pre-season once again why they are the clear favorites to win the WSL title, as they have done great under coach Sonia Bompastor last season, and they will be aiming to win their 7th WSL title in a row.
The Blues are still missing Lauren James, Lucy Bronze, Millie Bright, and Kadeisha Buchanan due to injuries, while Mayra Ramirez is also expected to be out after getting injured in the last game.

Manchester City Women FC
Man City Women finished the 24-25 WSL season in 4th place, which is frustrating for them, as they were only one point out of the qualifying spots for the Women’s Champions League. The Citizens also reached the Women’s FA Cup final but lost to Chelsea Women in a close game.
Man City Ladies are coming off a 0-0 home draw with Man United W in a friendly game. This was the only pre-season game for the Citizens, but it’s a good sign about their defense, which needed to improve after conceding 28 league goals last season, which is the worst among the top four teams.
The Citizens are still missing Risa Shimizu, Vivianne Miedema, and Mary Fowler due to long-term injuries, while everyone else should be ready.

WSL 25/26 Betting Predictions for Chelsea W vs Man City W
Chelsea Women (-0.75) Goals Handicap @ 1.80 (4/5)
1 (100%)
0
The Blues played very well in this matchup last season, as they outscored the Citizens 9-4 and won four of five matches. Chelsea Women have won the league title in eight of the last nine seasons, and they are always aiming to get a good start to the season. The best odds for football show them as big favorites for a reason, and they can easily win this matchup by 2+ goals.
Total Goals – Under 3 @ 1.80 (4/5)
1 (100%)
0
This matchup has been a quiet one in the last few years, as they had three or fewer goals in 10 consecutive head-to-head games, averaging 2.1 goals per game. The Blues rarely conceded at home, and they had by far the best defense last season, conceding only 13 goals in 22 WSL games. Man City Women have improved their defense as well, so it might very well be a low-scoring game.
Agnes Beever-Jones to Score @ 2.40 (7/5)
0
(100%) 1
Agnes Beever-Jones was the best player for the Blues and the team’s top scorer in the WSL 24/25 top scorers list. The English winger scored a hat-trick in the last friendly game against AC Milan W, and she is in great form. Agnes scored five goals and had one assist in less than 150 minutes with England last July in the Euros, so her odds to score here are really enticing.
