Chelsea host Austria Wien at Stamford Bridge on 23 September 2026 at 22:00 in the opening round of the UEFA Women's Champions League league phase. Chelsea are unbeaten domestically with two wins and a draw, scoring eight goals and conceding one across three matches. They beat Real Sociedad 6-2 on aggregate in qualifying and won two of three home Champions League matches last season, scoring 11 goals and conceding just one. Austria Wien qualified for the league phase after losing 1-2 to Brann in the first leg of their decisive round, then won 4-0 at home to advance. They sit third in their domestic league with 13 points from six matches, having won their last two games and scored 17 goals this season.
Form and H2H
This is the first competitive meeting between Chelsea and Austria Wien. Chelsea's home record in European competition is particularly strong, with three consecutive unbeaten matches at Stamford Bridge last season. Austria Wien have demonstrated attacking threat throughout their qualifying campaign and domestic season, scoring consistently and responding well under pressure, as shown by their 4-0 comeback win over Brann.
Best Bet
Over 3.5 total goals. Chelsea's attacking quality combined with Austria Wien's recent scoring form and both teams arriving in confident domestic form suggests an open contest with multiple goals. Chelsea are available at 1.03 with Melbet, 1.04 with 1xBet, and 1.01 with Mostbet for the home win, but the attacking potential on both sides points toward a higher-scoring match.
Odds to Watch
Chelsea are heavy favourites across the market. Melbet prices the home win at 1.03, 1xBet at 1.04, and Mostbet at 1.01. The draw sits at 17 with both Melbet and 1xBet, while Austria Wien's upset win is priced at 31 across all three operators. The gap between Chelsea's odds and Austria's reflects the difference in European experience, though Austria's domestic form and qualifying performances suggest they will not be without chances.
