In two matches in the UEFA Women’s Champions League league stage this season, Austrian outfit St. Pölten have given up nine goals and scored zero. They sit dead last in the table, and face one of the biggest
challenges of their history today: the English champions.
There’s not much for the hosts to lose here. Whereas Chelsea Women can see a whole lot go away from their hands with an adverse result today. We can’t take this meeting lightly, and the lineup from Sonia Bompastor indicates we aren’t in it for a simple “cruise” towards victory.
St. Pölten starting eleven:
Schlüter | Ollivier, Klein, Ebert, Nagy, Krizaj, Gutmann, Peneau, Laino, Elmore, Brunold
Substitutes from: Hermsmeier, Vracevic, Rukavina, Seiro, Woelki, Matavkova, Aistleitner
Chelsea starting lineup:
Peng | Carpenter, Girma, Bronze, Baltimore | Walsh (c), Kaptein | Kaneryd, Macario, Thompson | Kerr
Substitutes from: Spencer, Bright, Björn, Charles, Buurman, Cuthbert, Hamano, Jean-François, Nüsken, James, Potter
