Follow live updates of the UEFA Women’s Champions League clash between Häcken and Chelsea, as the top two teams in Group D go head to head.

The team hosting tonight’s match, Häcken, used to be led by the current manager of Tottenham Hotspur, Robert Vilahamn. Vilahamn moved to London during the season pause, leaving behind a skilled group of players in Sweden. Under his guidance, Häcken became known for their beautiful style of football, with an emphasis on passing and utilizing the entire width of the field.

However, tonight’s match is expected to witness a change in Häcken’s playing style. With Vilahamn’s departure, it is likely that the Swedish team will shift towards a more defensive approach, focusing on counter-attacking their opponents. The opponents may face a significant danger as a result of this alteration in strategies.

Häcken had a great opportunity to secure the Damallsvenskan championship this year. They maintained the leading position for a considerable part of the season, demonstrating their supremacy. Regrettably, their performance slightly declined towards the end of the season, possibly due to the change in management. This decrease in their performance enabled Hammarby to surpass them in the second-to-last round of matches, with Häcken narrowly missing out on the top position based on goal difference. Although they did not win the title, Häcken’s performance throughout the season deserves recognition. Their consistent contention for the championship highlights the skill and talent present in their team. As they prepare to confront their rivals tonight, Häcken will be determined to showcase their abilities and conclude the season on a positive note.
