Match Stats

Ajax Amsterdam women face Chelsea women in the Women's Champions League quarterfinals at a packed Johan Cruiyff Arena on Tuesday night. Despite missing midfielder Sherida Spitse due to suspension, Ajax, led by goalkeeper Regina van Eijk, are in top form, winning their last five matches, including a notable 3-0 victory over FC Twente. With rising talents like Romee Leuchter, who has scored 9 goals in 9 Champions League games, and 16-year-old Lily Yohannes, Ajax presents a formidable challenge for Chelsea.


Emma Hayes' Chelsea, a seasoned squad, enters the quarterfinal clash with an impressive track record, having never lost in four previous quarterfinal ties. Despite a recent cup defeat to Manchester City, which they later avenged, Chelsea's form remains solid, highlighted by a commanding 3-1 victory over Arsenal, with goals from Lauren James and Sjoeke Nusken. Undefeated in Europe this season, they aim to secure a favorable result in Amsterdam before the return leg at Stamford Bridge.



Chelsea may be a stronger squad than their hosts on paper, but we think the Blues will have to be content with a first-leg draw against an Ajax side that enjoyed significant success in their three home group matches earlier this season.
