, KO: 20:00 , Cherry Red Records
Austria Vienna Women

Chelsea play Austria Vienna in their opening league phase game of the Women's Champions League at the Cherry Red Records Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Blues beat Real Sociedad 6-2 on aggregate in qualifying for the competition proper, and will be hoping to continue their winning form having beaten Birmingham City 2-0 at home in the Women's Super League last time out.

Austria Vienna were also victorious domestically, defeating Kleinmunchen by the same scoreline on home soil, and will be hoping to cause a major upset here.

They also had to come through three qualifiers to reach the league phase, beating Hajduk Split, Farul Constanta and Brann over two legs.

How the bookies view it: Chelsea big favourites

Chelsea are huge 1/33 favourites to win, with Austria Vienna largely unfancied at 80/1.

A draw is even as far out as 16/1, so the smart money is on a Blues victory.

Recent head-to-head: First meeting

This is the first meeting between Chelsea and Austria Vienna.

Players to watch: Malard to earn a start?

Melvine Malard is yet to start for Chelsea since signing from Manchester United this summer, but after scoring against Birmingham from the bench, Sonia Bompastor may be tempted to unleash her from the off.

She also netted twice in the home leg against Sociedad in qualifying, and can be backed at 1/2 to score anytime.

For Austria Vienna, Modesta Uka netted her ninth goal in all competitions this season against Kleinmunchen, with six of those coming in Champions League qualifying.

Probable line-ups

Both sides appear to have no fresh injury concerns.

Chelsea: Hampton; Bronze, Buchanan, Buurman; Carpenter, Potter, Walsh, Nusken; Thompson, Kaptein, Malard.

Austria Vienna: Goetz; Schiechtl, Wenninger, Kirchberger; Potzl, Pfattner, Jakobsen, Orkic, Schorn; Sisic, Uka.

Anything else catch the eye?

With Chelsea such big favourites to win, we want to explore higher-value bets.

Austria Vienna have scored in each of their last nine games in all competitions, so BTTS – Yes at 11/4 could be worth a punt.

However, the Blues are likely to fill their boots against Stefan Kenesei's side having scored five goals in two matches across all competitions this season, so Over 4.5 goals at 11/10 is another pick.
