Will the Blues maintain their top-four spot?
Even before the final matchday of the group stage of the Women’s Champions League, both VfL Wolfsburg and Chelsea FC have secured their places in the knockout rounds. The Londoners are in third place with eleven points and would advance directly to the quarterfinals with their current top-four finish.
The Wolves are two points behind in seventh place and could at least overtake the Blues with a home win, thereby theoretically avoiding a possible round of 16 match. However, the odds are not in Wolfsburg’s favor for a home win against Chelsea Ladies.
After all, the Londoners are one of the strongest teams in the competition coming to the AOK Stadium. The Blues have lost only one of their last 29 games in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League (group and league stages) (21 wins, seven draws). However, that one defeat came at the hands of the Wolves, who celebrated a 4-0 home win against Chelsea on December 16, 2021. Since then, however, the Londoners have remained unbeaten in 23 consecutive preliminary round games (18 wins, five draws).
However, as VfL have also lost only one of their last nine home games in the CL preliminary round (seven wins, one draw), we would not want to rule anything out in the three-way system. As we assume that the Lower Saxony team will play for the win, it could be a potentially high-scoring match. In this context, betting on both teams to score offers good value.
Since the odds offered by the best bookmakers for Wolfsburg vs. Chelsea Women clearly favor the visitors from the UK capital, a positive handicap on the Wolves would also be a valid approach. After all, VfL have already beaten Manchester United 5-2 in the current league phase and have lost only two of their last 17 international competitive matches against English teams (eleven wins, four draws), although both defeats were against the Blues.
However, considering that Chelsea FC has been waiting for a competitive win in six away games in Germany (one draw, five defeats), it makes perfect sense to use the practical Bet365 app to bet on the Asian handicap of +1.25 on the Green-Whites at odds of 1.95.
Wolfsburg – Chelsea Women Head-to-head record/H2H record
Head to head: 6 – 2 – 2
Ten international competitive matches have already taken place between the two teams, with the Lower Saxony side clearly leading the head-to-head record with six wins. After the Wolves remained completely unbeaten in their first six encounters with the Londoners (five wins, one draw), Chelsea FC has recently caught up. Only one of the last four games went to VfL (one draw, two defeats).
Wolfsburg – Chelsea Women Tip
Basically, the prediction for Wolfsburg vs. Chelsea Women must lean toward the visiting team, which comes to the AOK Stadium with a 23-game unbeaten streak in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League (18 wins, five draws). However, the Green-Whites have a great chance to possibly save themselves the round of 16 with a home win, which is why we expect coach Stephan Lerch to be quite bold in his selection. Even if they lose, VfL can no longer fall out of the top twelve, so there is absolutely no need to hold back. This could lead to a heated exchange of blows.
The best value here is betting on both teams scoring, regardless of the outcome of the match. For goals on both sides, Wolfsburg vs. Chelsea Women betting odds of 1.62 are available at Betano, which we are betting on with five out of ten units.
