Match Preview
West Ham Women host Chelsea Women at the Chigwell Construction Stadium this Sunday, with both teams looking to assert their positions in the Women's Super League. West Ham's form has been inconsistent, with two draws and three losses in their last five matches, indicating a struggle to find their rhythm. In contrast, Chelsea arrives with a strong record, having won four of their last five games, showcasing their attacking prowess and solid defence.
A key angle to consider is Chelsea's historical dominance in this fixture, winning five of the last ten encounters. Furthermore, their ability to score has been evident, with six of those matches seeing over 2.5 goals. West Ham will need to tighten their defence if they are to avoid a repeat of past performances against a Chelsea side that thrives on exploiting defensive lapses. With both teams having different objectives this season, the outcome could hinge on West Ham's ability to contain Chelsea's attacking threats while seeking to capitalise on any defensive errors.
