According to the best female football bookies, Chelsea Ladies are the big home favorites at 1.40 (2/5). A draw is offered at 4.50 (7/2), while Real Madrid Women are the away underdogs at 7.0 (6/1) to beat the Blues.
The Blues and Real Madrid have met only three times, as they were also in the same UWCL group last season. Chelsea won their home game last year and topped the group, while Las Blancas failed to qualify for the Round of 16, and they have never beaten the Blues.
Chelsea Women are currently sitting in first place in the Women’s Super League standings. The Blues are also at the top of Group D in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Chelsea W will face Crystal Palace W in the Round of 16 of the Women’s FA Cup next month.
Chelsea Ladies are coming off a big 3-1 home win over Man United in the WSL. Lauren James scored a stunning hat-trick in that game to give the Blues a well-deserved win. Chelsea W are doing very well in all competitions this season, and it will be interesting to see if they will keep that form with the absence of Sam Kerr, as the team’s striker got an ACL injury earlier this year at a warm-up in a training camp.
Chelsea W will most likely miss Sam Kerr, Katerina Svitkova, and Catarina Macario until the end of the season, while Millie Bright is expected to return in late February.
Real Madrid Femenino are currently sitting in third place in the Liga F standings. The Whites lost the Spanish Women’s Super Cup semi-finals to Barcelona Femeni. Real Madrid Women are at the bottom of Group D in the UWCL, having no chance to qualify for the quarterfinals.
Real Madrid Women are coming off a 4-0 away loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Women’s Super Cup. The odds to bet on Real Madrid Women in this game are very high due to their poor form, as they have lost six of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Real Madrid W don’t have any new injuries, but they are still missing Signe Bruun, Caroline Weir, and Rocio Galvez Luna.

Chelsea Women are in great form right now, as they are on a four-game winning streak. The Blues lost only once this season, which was to Arsenal in the Women’s Super League London Derby. Real Madrid Femenino aren’t performing well this season in the UWCL, as they have lost three games and drawn once in Group D so far.
The Chelsea W odds for this game are so enticing, as they have won by more than one goal in seven of their last nine matches in all competitions. The Blues will play at Stamford Bridge in this game, and their home record this season is astonishing.

Chelsea ladies have gone over this total in 11 of their last 13 games, and this has also happened in three of their four UWCL matches so far this season. Real Madrid Femenino are averaging 3.7 goals per game in the last 10 matches in all competitions. The first game between the Blues and Las Blancas in this group ended in a 2-2 draw, so it went over the total comfortably.

The Blues have scored in both halves in three of their last four games. They have a lot of star power in the attack, as they have scored the most goals in the Women’s Super League and the third-most goals in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Real Madrid are coming off a very bad game, as they conceded four goals to Barcelona and could have been more, so Chelsea Women can definitely score in both halves in this match.
Chelsea Women are in much better form right now, and they are unbeaten at home this season, so they should get the win. Make sure you use our 2024 Chelsea W vs Real Madrid W betting predictions and bet them at the bookmakers in England to have more fun watching the game.
