------------------------------------------------------------
Chelsea are on the brink of reaching the Conference League final after a dominant 4-1 victory over Djurgardens IF in Sweden. With a strong advantage heading into the second leg at Stamford Bridge, they are set to face either Real Betis or Fiorentina in the final later this month.
Team Analysis:
Chelsea dominated Djurgardens IF with a 4-1 win in Sweden, thanks to goals from Sancho, Madueke, and Jackson. Despite a late consolation goal from Alemayehu, Djurgardens face an uphill battle in the second leg at Stamford Bridge. Having struggled in the Allsvenskan, their focus will be on bouncing back from a tough European run.
Player Situation:
Maresca may rotate his squad for Chelsea’s second-leg match against Djurgardens, with key players like Nkunku, Fofana, and Guiu sidelined. Youngsters like Tyrique George could get a start, while some players are being saved for an upcoming match against Newcastle. Djurgardens, already missing key players like goalkeeper Filip Manojlovic and midfielder Malkolm Nilsson, face a depleted squad with several others unavailable due to injury, leaving them with limited substitutes for the trip to London.
Result Prediction:
Chelsea only need to secure the win to advance to the final, and while a standout performance isn't expected, they are likely to get the job done. Djurgardens, despite their historic achievement in reaching the semi-finals, face a tough challenge with numerous key players unavailable, making an upset unlikely.
Predicted Result: Chelsea 2-1 Djurgarden.
