Prediction

  • The start of the WSL season is finally here and it kicks off with a cracker of a match.
  • Both Chelsea and Aston Villa have rung the changes in their teams for this new season with Aston Villa reportedly paying a record fee to bring in Gabi Nunes. Both teams have also brought in new managers.
  • Chelsea are led by former Lyon manager Sonia Bompastor and Aston Villa have former Bayer Leverkusen manager Robert De Pauw.
  • Chelsea have great previous form in this match up as they have won all eight of their meetings with Villa.
  • Both teams do come into this match in fine form too. Aston Villa managed to beat Manchester City 2-1 in pre season with Chelsea thumping Feyenoord 9-0.
  • On the flip side, Chelsea don't have the best form on opening days as they have won just two of their six opening matches as reigning champions.
  • Expect that to change with Chelsea looking like they are hitting the ground running. It'll be a close one but it will be a great match to kick off the new season.
