Legia Warsaw v Chelsea Preview & Betting Tips
UEFA Europa Conference League – KO: 16:45 | Stadion Miejski
Legia Warsaw- 5.40
Draw- 4.20
Chelsea- 1.58
Chelsea head to Poland for the first leg of their Conference League quarter-final clash with Legia Warsaw on Thursday evening, and despite their away form concerns, they remain strong favourites to take control of the tie.
Chelsea Eye Ninth Straight European Win
Enzo Maresca’s side have been flawless in Europe so far, winning all 8 of their Conference League games this season. While their domestic campaign has lacked consistency, the Blues are treating this competition as a genuine shot at silverware, and potentially their best route into Europe next season.
The only blot on their recent record? A shaky away run. Chelsea have just 1 win from their last 10 games on the road, but that victory came in this competition, beating Copenhagen 2-1 last round.
Legia Out of Form at the Worst Time
Legia Warsaw are struggling both domestically and in Europe. They’ve lost 3 of their last 4 Conference League matches and currently sit off the pace in the Polish top flight. That includes conceding twice at home to Lugano in their last home Conference League game, which doesn’t bode well ahead of Chelsea’s visit.
Their defence has looked vulnerable and they’ve failed to match the tempo of more technically-gifted sides. It’s hard to see them keeping the visitors out, even with Chelsea’s recent drop-off in front of goal.
Expect a Low-Scoring Away Win
Chelsea’s last 5 games in all competitions have seen one goal or fewer, including a dull 0-0 draw at Brentford last weekend. They may not blow teams away anymore, but they can do enough to edge out Legia in a tight contest.
A professional 2-0 away win mirrors their earlier victory over Heidenheim in this competition and could be a solid shout.
