St. Pölten vs. Chelsea: Previous Meetings & Stats
St. Pölten sit at the bottom of the Women’s Champions League standings as the clubs head into matchday 3. The Austrian side faced OL Lyonnais and Atlético Madrid in the opening rounds but were unable to find the back of the net. They enter the Chelsea match on the heels of an ÖFB Cup defeat to Austria Wien. The club also recently changed head coaches, a move that could create some instability. Was it the right moment to appoint Laurent Fassotte?
Meanwhile, Chelsea remain unbeaten in both the Women’s Super League and the UWCL League Phase. Their opening match ended in a 1–1 draw against FC Twente, followed by a commanding 4–0 victory over Paris FC on matchday 2. Bompastor’s side have a quick turnaround after their recent clash with Arsenal, where they had to settle for a 1–1 draw amid questionable refereeing decisions.
