*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Chelsea W’s 1-0 over Barcelona W in the semi-final first leg was a historic moment for the Blues and head coach Emma Hayes’s tactical blueprint worked perfectly in that triumph. Despite their first-leg success, the bookies have given Chelsea Women just a 12.5% chance of producing a repeat result against their Catalonian counterparts on Saturday.
However, top football predictions for Saturday’s fixture are forecasting a game of fine margins which really go either way. Chelsea W have lost only one of their 17 matches on home soil this season and should be tough to topple again.

Player to watch – Salma Paralluelo
20-year-old striking sensation Salma Paralluelo is Barcelona Women’s leading scorer in the Women’s Champions League this season with five goals and the talented technician has the skill to gobble up any chances that fall her way in this weekend’s crucial second leg.
Schlotterbeck a threat from set pieces
Paralluelo missed a good chance to find the net in Barca’s 1-0 loss to Chelsea W a week ago and she will be determined to make up for her poor effort in London on Saturday. Paralleulo has notched a sensational 17 goals in 16 league appearances for Barcelona W this term in Spain.
