Chelsea vs Roma prediction
Chelsea remain unbeaten in all competitions this season and are performing well on all fronts, currently sitting top of the Women's Super League on goal difference.
They will also have taken plenty of confidence from Matchday 2, when they held eight-time winners OL Lyonnes to a goalless draw in France.
Roma, on the other hand, were humbled by holders Barcelona last time out in Europe, losing 0-6 on home soil. They have responded well since, though, scoring 12 goals in their last three Serie A Women matches - all victories.
However, the Italian side's only previous meeting with English opposition ended in a 6-0 defeat on Matchday 5 last season, and despite their recent scoring run, they are likely to struggle against Sonia Bompastor's side here. We expect Chelsea to win this one fairly comfortably, so adding over 3.5 goals alongside a Chelsea victory will add extra value to your betslip.
Chelsea vs Roma tip: Chelsea to win & over 3.5 goals
