Gameweek three in the UEFA Women's Champions League will see Chelsea taking on Hacken on Thursday evening at Stamford Bridge. The hosts are in second place in Group D with four points after the first two matches, while the visitors lead the group with a perfect record so far. Real Madrid and Paris FC round out the group with one and zero points, respectively. Cheslea come into this match following their first loss of the league season. They were comprehensively beaten by Arsenal 4-1 last weekend, which brought an end to a four-match winning streak. Still, the hosts are leading the domestic league, though only on goal difference over the Gunners. In this competition, Chelsea drew 2-2 against Real Madrid in week one before beating Paris FC 4-1 in week two at home. The Blues have an excellent record at Stamford Bridge and are on a 12-match winning streak ahead of this match. The last time they lost a match at home was against Barcelona in last season’s Champions League semi-final.

Meanwhile, with the Damallsvenskan Women’s League season already complete, Hacken will be returning to action after two full weeks. Their last match was a 2-1 win over Real Madrid in this competition, which followed a 2-1 win over Paris FC back in week one. Hacken ended their league season in second place. They finished with an identical record to the league winners Hammarby (W18 D5 L3) and were edged to the title by a single-goal difference. The visitors are on a four-match winning streak and have only been beaten once in their last 11 matches in all competitions. However, despite their solid form heading into this fixture, the bookmakers make them one of the biggest outsiders for this gameweek.
