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

The hosts are yet to win a game against the Blues.

FC Copenhagen are all set to host Chelsea in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League 2024-25 round of 16 stage. The hosts were only able to win a couple of matches during the league phase and hence ended in the 18th spot. The Blues ended as the table toppers as they did not drop any points.

FC Copenhagen had a close matchup against Heidenheim during the playoffs stage. But in the end they stood tall to seal a spot in the round of 16. They are going to have a tough battle against Chelsea, but might pull off an upset in the first leg as it will take place at home for them.

Chelsea have had a great run in the UEFA Conference League and will be looking to continue their form here. They have shown some average performances in the Premier League and have also been knocked out of the FA Cup. They are surely not going to have an easy time against FC Copenhagen.

• Date: Thursday, March 6
• Kick-off Time: 23:15 IST/ 17:45 GMT/ 12:45 ET/ 09:45 PT

Players to Watch

Amin Chiakha (FC Copenhagen)

The young Algerian forward has scored four goals in five Conference League games for Copenhagen. Amin Chiakha will have to step up. With the help of his teammates, he can be a real threat for the Blues who are facing some difficulties in defence.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea)

The Blues will have the English midfielder by their side for the upcoming UEFA Conference League game. Although Cole Palmer has not played any games in the UECL this season, he is the top goal scorer for the Blues in the Premier League. Palmer knows how to control the midfield and he knows how to score goals.

Palmer is a Blue! 🔵
