Chelsea and Djurgarden will lock horns in the UEFA Conference League this week. The second leg of the semi-final tie between the Premier League club and the Allsvenskan side will be held at Stamford Bridge in London and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Thursday.
Chelsea
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world that could end up having a very successful season. While the Blues’ Premier League title charge went up in smoke in the first half of the campaign, they could fulfil two of their primary objectives in head coach Enzo Maresca’s first season in charge of the Blues.
The Blues are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 63 points from 35 matches. If the London club can hold their position until the end of the season, then they will secure a place in the UEFA Champions League for the 2025-26 campaign. Moreover, Chelsea also have the chance to lift a major European trophy this season, as they have reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League and are a step away from reaching the final. The Blues beat Djurgarden 4-1 away from home in the first leg of their tie last week.
Chelsea will head into the tie against Djurgarden on the back of a 3-1 victory over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League. It came after a 4-1 hammering of Djurgarden away from home in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League semi-final tie, which followed a 1-0 victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League.
