Chelsea vs Servette Chenois prediction, preview, team news and more

Chelsea are back in action with another UEFA Women's Champions League fixture this week as they take on Servette Chenois on Thursday. The Blues have an impressive squad at their disposal and hold the upper hand this week.

Servette Chenois have not been at their best this season and are in fourth place in the Nationalliga. The Swiss side is rooted to the bottom of Group A and has struggled to cope with European competition.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are at the top of the group at the moment and have been impressive this year. The English giants fell short of European glory last season and will be intent on making amends in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
