Chelsea will be looking to make it five wins in a row on Thursday when they host Swedish side Djurgaarden for their return leg of the Conference League semi-final.
With all due respect to Djurgaarden, the tie is pretty much over, with the Blues scoring four times and conceding just one goal in Sweden last week.
Chelsea's form has picked up just when it has needed to, with the Blues winning all three of their last league games and picking up a crucial win in the Conference semi-final first leg. On a weekend that saw the likes of Man City and Aston Villa pick up vital wins in the battle for the Champions League places, it was Maresca's men's turn, and they got the job done at the Bridge with a 3-1 victory over newly-crowned champions Liverpool.
Djurgaarden, meanwhile, needed a positive result to go into Thursday's game when they hosted AIK in Allsvenskan on Sunday afternoon. A 1-1 draw ensured that the Iron Stoves remained in the bottom half of the table, but they will take motivation from the fact that they won their last European away game 4-1.
Chelsea vs Djurgaarden Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The major headline in Chelsea's Conference League games this season has been the presence of goals. Enzo Maresca's men are averaging three goals per game in Europe this season, but have kept just four clean sheets in 11 games and the last three alone produced eleven goals.
Djurgaarden finished two of their last three league games without conceding, but they have struggled defensively in Europe. The away side boast just two clean sheets in the Conference League this season, with eight of their 11 encounters resulting in 3+ goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Chelsea vs Djurgaarden prediction: 2-1
