Legia Warszawa vs Chelsea Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Conference League 2024-25

Paris of the North gears up to host the London-based outfit.

The Quarter Final fixtures of the UEFA Conference League 2024-25 take us to the Stadion Miejski Stadium as Legia Warszawa and Chelsea lock horns in a thrilling clash.

Legia Warszawa are coming off a victory over Molde in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Conference League. Despite trailing 3-2 in the first leg, they bounced back in the second leg after both teams were reduced to 10 men. The Polish outfit secured a 2-0 win to book their place in the quarterfinals.

With the passionate Warsaw crowd rallying behind them, they will be keen to turn their fortunes around and cause an upset.

Chelsea FC currently find themselves positioned 4th in the Premier League points table. After an impressive victory over Tottenham Hotspur, they were held to a goalless draw against Brentford. They had a golden opportunity to close the gap with the third-placed Nottingham Forest but failed to capitalise on it.

Now, they will look to shift their focus to the UEFA Conference League, where they are set to ply their trade against the Poland-based outfit. Enzo Maresca will be keen to help the Blues regain their momentum and secure a resounding victory in the first leg.

Christopher Nkunku, the 27-year-old French striker, has plied his trade with teams like Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig before joining Chelsea in 2023. Since then, he has made 37 appearances and scored six goals.

On the international front, he has represented the French national team 14 times, with his only goal coming recently against Israel in a UEFA Nations League fixture.
