Chelsea, riding a three-game winning streak in all competitions, aim to maintain their perfect UEFA Conference League record as they host Copenhagen in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie on Thursday.
The Blues hold a narrow 2-1 advantage from the first leg and will look to extend their dominance at home. Copenhagen, meanwhile, need a comeback to progress and avoid another last-16 elimination in this competition.
🔵Chelsea Look to Secure Quarter-Final Spot | Home Win = 1.38💵
Chelsea have been flawless in the Conference League, winning all their matches so far. Enzo Maresca’s side has turned Stamford Bridge into a fortress, winning 14 of their last 19 home games in all competitions.
With a crucial Premier League clash against Arsenal coming up, squad rotation may be a factor. However, Chelsea’s depth should be enough to see them through against a Copenhagen side struggling for consistency.
⚪Copenhagen Seek Historic Upset | Away Win = 8.33💵
Copenhagen have never won away against an English team, but they will take inspiration from their dramatic comeback win over Heidenheim earlier in the tournament when they step onto the field at Stamford Bridge.
Despite their solid away form in the Conference League, Jacob Neestrup’s side has lacked momentum domestically. They have won just two of their last seven matches in all competitions, highlighting their struggle to find consistency.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Chelsea remain without Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke, and Marc Guiu due to hamstring injuries, while Mykhaylo Mudryk is suspended. Reece James and Malo Gusto will be assessed, with Cole Palmer expected to start despite illness concerns last weekend.
Copenhagen are without Andreas Cornelius, Lukas Lerager, and Oliver Hojer, while Roony Bardghji remains sidelined. Marcos Lopez is suspended, and Thomas Delaney is a doubt due to illness.
