Chelsea vs FC Copenhagen Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
FC Copenhagen are yet to win a contest against the Blues.
Chelsea are all set to host FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Europa Conference League 2024-25 round of 16 second leg. The Blues secured a win in the first leg by a scoreline of 2-1. This will keep them in an advantage.
It was a close contest as both teams were on pretty even terms in the first half. Chelsea scored a couple of goals in the second half and Copenhagen scored once.
Chelsea will be at home for the second leg. This is going to be a much more comfortable game for them as compared to the first leg, which was away from home. Still, the Blues managed to score twice and secure a win. Enzo Maresca’s men will be aiming to score some goals here in order to attain an easy win.
FC Copenhagen still have a chance to make a comeback, but this time they are going to be playing away from home. The Premier League team are going to give them a tough time but the visitors will have to overcome that if they want to proceed to the Conference League quarterfinals.
