Barcelona are on their way to a second successive Women's Champions League final. They lead this semi-final against Chelsea 1-0 with the winners up against either Arsenal or Wolfsburg in the final. The Spanish side are again looking to be crowned La Liga Feminine Champions with all 25 of their league games being won this season, yet still only ten points clear of Real Madrid. They average over four goals a league match with 105 scored to date but their dominance is not all about scoring. Only five league goals have been conceded this season in 25 matches. They come into this game having won each of their last 17 matches, At home 16 of the last 17 home Barcelona fixtures have had over 2.5 goals scored in them. That includes a 5-1 home win over Roma in the quarter finals of this tournament. All four of their home Women's Champions League games have been won this season by an aggregate score of 23-1

Not since 2018 has Barcelona lost a home game in the Women's Champions League. Chelsea have to achieve that if they want to progress to the final and a possible all-English clash with Arsenal. They are third in the Women's Super League, four points behind Manchester United but with two games in hand. They beat Lyon to set up this tie with Barcelona but needed penalties to do so. The away first leg was won 1-0 but the second saw them lose 2-1 to go into that penalty shootout. It's such a tough task getting anything from a trip to Barcelona and our tip for this game is over 2.5 goals to be scored.
