Chelsea's latest quest for that elusive Women's Champions League title gets underway tonight in the Netherlands as they take on Twente.
Despite being the dominant force in the English game of late, the closest the Blues have come in Europe is a runners-up finish in 2021.
They'll be desperate to go that step further this season and should get up and running with a win on the road tonight.
Twente Women vs Chelsea Women
Twente booked their place in the new league phase by thrashing Katowice of Poland 8-1 on aggregate but taking on Chesea is a daunting opener for the Dutch side.
BoyleSports make the English side 2/7 hot favourites and a shock home win is as big as 11/2.
Chelsea drew 1-1 with Manchester United at the weekend but had won four domestic games in a row before that so they're in good form.
These sides played each other in the Champions League last term and we saw a lot of goals, with the Blues winning 3-1 in the Netherlands then 6-1 at home.
Those results suggests backing a Chelsea win with BTTS could pay off at 7/5 with BoyleSports while combining an away victory with over 3.5 goals is the same price.
Manchester United Women vs Valarenga Women
Manchester United are gracing the group phase of the Women's Champions League for the first time and will be looking to get off to a flier at home to Valarenga.
The Norwegians have a bit more experience than United at this level, having played in the groups last term. But they didn't do very well and claimed just a point from their games with Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Juventus.
The Gunners beat them 4-1 in London so that suggests United should be too strong for Valarenga with home advantage.
The bookies certainly think so as BoyleSports price the home win at just 1/8, with the Norwegians 12/1 outsiders.
Valarenga lost by a three-goal margin in all of their away games in last season's Champions League so backing United at -2 in the handicap could pay off at 6/5 with BoyleSports.
The Norwegians also scored just once in their three away games in last season's groups and that makes a United win to nil another good option at 20/23.
Real Madrid Women vs Roma Women
Real Madrid are among the contenders for the women's Champions League crown this season and they get underway at home to Roma.
The Italians had a decent campaign last term but a 6-1 loss away to Wolfsburg proved costly as they were edged out on goal difference by the Germans.
Roma also lost 4-1 on the road to group winners Lyon so it's clear they will need to defend better to stand a chance this season.
BoyleSports make Real Madrid 4/11 favourites tonight but you can boost their price to 21/20 by backing them at -1 in the handicap.
Roma scored 12 and conceded 14 in their six group games last term so it bodes well for some thrills. Over 3.5 goals pays 13/10 for this one with BoyleSports.

Peoples thoughts on that plank Gary Neville’s comments?
Well referencing middle aged white men using the union jack in a derogatory way after starting with the terrorist attack is foolish to say the least. Not sure why so many of them are happy to comment on political stuff and risk their jobs tbh, it doesn’t make sense to me.
Every person should be entitled to their opinion no matter if you or I agrees
Totally agree cocker but a blind man could see that the blame for extremist attacks do not rest on the shoulders of middle aged white men and the union flag.
Big beak Neville is clearly just another champagne socialist but that tw@ Lineker
You seem to have a problem with Neville expressing his opinion ?
We all have our opinions but when you put in on social media for the world to see and hear, you need to be able to accept that people with disagree and potentially face some comebacks/backlash.
I’m all for freedom of speech and people having their opinion but his comments are aimed at patriotic, working class white men such as me, so I take it personally
I think his comments were aimed at hard working white men like Nigel Farage .
A grifter who has never worked a day in his life
I think you’re in the minority with that thought cocker. If he meant Farage why not say that instead of tarring us all with the same brush
