Celtic Women Host Chelsea Women in UEFA Women’s Champions League Clash

The UEFA Women's Champions League is set to witness an exciting matchup as Celtic Women host Chelsea Women at Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland, on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. The match is scheduled to kick off at 3:00 PM ET (12:00 PM PT) and will be a significant test for both teams in the group stage of the tournament[4][6].

Chelsea Women, under the management of Sonia Bompastor, are looking to extend their unbeaten run in the competition. They have already secured victories against Real Madrid and FC Twente in their previous matches. Despite their strong form, Chelsea have yet to win the Champions League and are eager to make the 2024/25 campaign a successful one[6].

Celtic Women, on the other hand, will be relying on key players such as Saoirse Noonan, who has been instrumental in their attacking plays, and goalkeeper Kelsey Daugherty, who has been in excellent form. Captain Caitlin Hayes, a solid defender, will also be crucial for Celtic’s defense against the formidable Chelsea side[6].

Chelsea’s lineup is expected to include players like Erin Cuthbert, who is returning from injury, while Lauren James remains sidelined. Catarina Macario and Mayra Ramirez are in contention to play, adding depth to Chelsea’s attacking options[6].

This match marks the first competitive fixture between Celtic and Chelsea, and it promises to be an intense battle as both teams aim to secure vital points in the group stage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League[6].
