Djurgardens make history on Thursday as they host Premier League heavyweights Chelsea in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League semi-final at Tele2 Arena.

The Swedish side is the first from their country to reach a European semi-final in over three decades, while Chelsea aim to take a big step toward their first continental final since 2021.

🔵Djurgardens Dream of European Glory at Strong Home | Home Win = 9.08💵

Having lost just two of their eight UEFA Conference League home games, including qualifiers, and winning all the remaining six, Djurgardens boast one of the best home records in the competition.

The unsuspecting Swedish side has already beaten Greek giants Panathinaikos, Slovenian giants Maribor, and Polish giants Legia Warszawa at home in the competition and will be feeling very confident heading into this huge clash in front of their home fans.

Jani Honkavaara’s side edged out Rapid Vienna in fairy-tale fashion when Tobias Gulliksen’s stoppage-time brace sent the Swedes into the semis, a feat unmatched since IFK Göteborg's 1987 UEFA Cup triumph, something they will be dreaming of doing themselves with only 3 games to go.

🔵Chelsea Seek First Final Since 2021 | Away Win = 1.35💵

Chelsea come into the clash riding a five-game unbeaten Premier League run and fresh off back-to-back wins over Fulham and Everton. The Conference League remains their best shot at silverware this season.

Despite losing the second leg at home to Legia Warsaw, Enzo Maresca’s men cruised into the semis thanks to a 3-0 first-leg lead. Their away form in Europe has been excellent—five wins in six, with 15 goals scored.

Barcelona host Inter Milan at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in the first leg of a blockbuster UEFA Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night.

Fifteen years since that iconic Mourinho celebration in the 2010 semis, both teams return with renewed firepower and a place in the final on the line. Barca aim for their first final since 2015, while Inter seek redemption after finishing runners-up in 2023.

🔴🔵Barcelona Look to Banish Haunting Ghosts of 2010 | Home Win = 1.67💵

While Barca have gotten the better of Inter in the UEFA Champions League since 2010, the Baulgrana still haven’t faced the Nerazzurri in a UCL knockout tie till now, and they would love nothing more than to give them a taste of that bitter elimination in 2010 against a Jose Mourinho Inter.

With revenge for 2010 in mind, the Catalans who brushed aside Dortmund 4-0 in the quarter-final first leg before easing through to the semis despite a 3-1 loss in Germany, will come into this with every intention to hurt Simeone Inzaghi’s side.

Barca come into this tie in great form, though with five wins and one draw at home in the UCL this season. They’ve also won 23 of their last 28 matches across all competitions, including a dramatic 3-2 El Clasico win in the Copa del Rey final last week.

🔵⚫Inter Milan Aiming to Make 2nd Finals in 3 Seasons | Away Win = 5.13💵

Inter edged out Bayern Munich in a nail-biting quarter-final, thanks to Frattesi’s late goal and a composed 2-2 draw at home. Simone Inzaghi’s men, though slightly out of form recently, remain unbeaten in their last 15 UCL home games.

Despite three straight defeats in domestic competitions, the Nerazzurri’s European form is stellar. They’ve conceded just five goals this campaign, with eight clean sheets showing their resilience.

Knowing that an in-form Barcelona side that is scoring for fun is the only thing that stands between them and a second UEFA Champions League final in three seasons, Simeone Inzaghi’s side can be expected to bring their A game regardless of their form.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Barca are still without top scorer Robert Lewandowski due to a hamstring injury, though Marc-Andre ter Stegen returns to the squad. Wingers Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, who have combined for 27 UCL goals, will be key to Barca’s attack.

Inter will count on Lautaro Martinez, who has scored in his last five UCL games. Marcus Thuram may feature after a thigh injury, while Pavard’s ankle issue puts his participation in doubt. Bastoni and Mkhitaryan are back after Serie A suspensions.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 4.39💵

⚽ Barcelona have scored 3+ goals in 5 of their 6 UCL home games, while they have scored 37 goals so far—more than any other team in the competition. | Specials Market: Home & Over 2.5 = 2.16

⚽ Inter are unbeaten in their last two clashes against Barca, while they have won all their last three away UCL games this season, including the quarterfinal clash away at Bayern Munich. | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & Yes = 1.88

⚽ There have been at least over 2.5 goals in three of the last four clashes between Barcelona and Inter Milan (3-3, 1-2, 2-1). | Main Market: Over 3.5 Goals = 2.43

Barcelona’s attack-minded flair meets Inter’s defensive discipline in a high-stakes European classic. Expect intensity, history, and Champions League drama under the lights at Montjuïc.
