Chelsea Football Club's women's team are set to resume their European campaign with a crucial Women's Champions League fixture against Austrian opponents St Pölten.
Chelsea's European Ambitions
The Blues, under manager Sonia Bompastor, enter this match hoping to maintain their strong recent form. Their league phase campaign began with a disappointing draw against Dutch side Twente, but they responded emphatically with a 4-0 victory against Paris FC a month ago.
As reigning Women's Super League champions, Chelsea's ultimate goal is European glory. A key objective is securing one of the four automatic qualification spots for the quarter-finals, which would significantly ease their path. Currently, they sit in a knockout phase playoff position, with just two points separating them from the coveted top four.
The St Pölten Challenge
Their opponents, St Pölten, arrive in England still searching for their first point in this season's competition. The Austrian side have found the group stage challenging, providing Chelsea with an opportunity to strengthen their position in the table.
The match is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off at the NV Arena. Fans are encouraged to follow all the live action and share their thoughts and predictions as the Blues push for a vital victory on the continental stage.
