FC Copenhagen v Chelsea: Predictions, tips and as Blues hunt Mickey Mouse cup
Europa Conference League favourites Chelsea head to Denmark for their last-16 clash with FC Copenhagen this Thursday (1745 GMT).
It’s a long time since Chelsea have favourites to win a competition. Seriously, คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย Blues fans must think they’re back in the Abramovich era.
Then again, Chelsea should be favourites in a competition that features clubs from parts of Europe you’ve never heard of.
Copenhagen certainly not one of those clubs. In fact, Copenhagen are arguably one of the two or three challenging sides that the Blues could have drawn.
Despite this, Enzo Maresca’s men should feel disappointe if they can’t bring a healthy victory back to Stamford Bridge for the second leg.
While the Danes are top of their domestic league, they haven’t really impresse in Europe and only progresse after an extra-time slog with Heidenheim.
If Copenhagen can’t make Heidenheim look easy, they’re going to struggle getting past a Premier League heavyweight.
Chelsea to win
Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Southampton last time out ende their run of three straight defeats in all competitions.
With form like that, you might be surprise as to why we are glazing the Blues so vehemently. In truth, it’s all down to one thing.
As a top five Premier League club at the moment, Chelsea should be getting the better of every team in this competition.
Their recent defeats have come against clubs who are a lot stronger than Copenhagen. What’s more, the Danish side hasn’t compete against a team as strong as Chelsea since their last outing in the Champions League.
If Copenhagen are to pose any sort of threat, their best chance is on home soil at the Parken Stadium.
The home fans are likely to produce a hostile atmosphere which is one of the few advantages that Copenhagen will have.
With a capacity crowd behind them, we’re backing Copenhagen to get a goal on the board. At the same time, we expect Chelsea to get two or three.
