Chelsea vs FC Noah Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Blues are currently leading the Conference League table.

English Giants Chelsea FC will aim to continue their flawless start in the UEFA Conference League when they take to the field against FC Noah on Friday. The Blues will be aiming for nothing less than a win as European action returns to Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca’s men are the favourites to lift the title this season, but it remains to be seen if they have what it takes to go all the way.

FC Noah on the other hand have achieved more success than expected since their inception in 2017. The Armenian outfit have won six of their last eight games but ended up on the wrong side in their last Conference League outing against Rapid. With a win and a defeat in two games, Noah are placed eighteenth on the table.

Players to watch 

Joao Felix (Chelsea)

The Portuguese forward has started enjoying life at Chelsea and has put together some really motivating performances this season. Felix found the back of the net twice in the Blues’s 4-1 triumph over Panathinaikos. Felix is expected to lead the line in this fixture and deliver yet another masterclass. His pace and game-reading abilities will come in very handy for the home side.

Gonçalo Gregório (FC Noah)

Goncalo Gregorio has been one of the top performers for FC Noah this season. His heroics in front of goal played a crucial role in Noah’s run to the Conference League. He is known for his goal-scoring prowess and the ability to perform in high-pressure situations. With six goals and two assists, the Portuguese target man has eight goal contributions for his side across all competitions.
