Most recent H2Hs: No meetings before this one
This will be the first-ever duel between Twente and Chelsea women, as well as first-ever Twente's meeting with a team from England.

Twente Women preview: Hoping to avoid a loss against the favoured rival
The reigning champions of the Dutch Eredivisie had to go through qualifiers to reach the group stage, but they didn't have much trouble in their journey here. On top of that, Twente women have started the group stages with a win over Celtic in the first round, so they'll be hoping for a good result against Chelsea too, even if the Blues are a much more serious opponent.
When it comes to team news, Sam Kerr, Niamh Charles, Sophie Ingle, Mia Fishel, and Aniek Nouwen are on Chelsea's injury list at the moment.
Predicted lineup: Clark (GK), Vliek, Knol, Carleer, Tuin, Te Brake, Van Dooren, Van Ginkel, Andradottir, Peddemors & Van Dijk
