Team Analysis
Chelsea Women are looking to assert their dominance in the UEFA Women’s Champions League as they prepare to take on Celtic Women. After a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Celtic in their previous group-stage match, Chelsea has shown their strength and resilience in domestic competitions, recently defeating Manchester City 2-0. This win has solidified their position at the top of the Women’s Super League, demonstrating their excellent form and attacking capabilities. Key players such as Sam Kerr and Fran Kirby have been instrumental in their success, contributing significantly to the team's offensive threats.

Celtic Women, on the other hand, are facing a challenging period. Following a disappointing loss to Rangers in the Old Firm Derby, they currently sit fifth in the Scottish Women’s Premier League, trailing their rivals. Their Champions League campaign looks bleak as they have failed to secure any points from their three group matches, raising concerns about their motivation heading into this clash against a formidable opponent like Chelsea.

Head-to-Head
The recent head-to-head record favors Chelsea, particularly highlighted by their recent victory over Celtic. In their last matchup, Chelsea managed a narrow win, but the overall quality of the teams suggests a different outcome may be expected in this encounter. Given Chelsea's recent form and the struggles faced by Celtic, it is unlikely that Celtic will find the same level of competitiveness as in their previous meeting.

Prediction
For this matchup, the prediction leans towards a high-scoring affair, with expectations set for over 3.5 goals. Chelsea has been in excellent form, consistently scoring multiple goals in their matches, while Celtic's defense has shown significant vulnerabilities. The likelihood of Chelsea dominating the game makes a scoreline of 4-0 or even higher a realistic expectation. Chelsea should capitalize on Celtic's defensive weaknesses, leading to a convincing victory at Stamford Bridge.

Pick: Over 3.5 goals
