Djurgarden vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips (1 May)

Djurgarden was not necessarily expected at this level of the competition and acts as a small thumb among the four remaining teams. Solid 5th at the end of the league phase, the Swedes then had to work to make their way in the last square. Indeed, they knew the same scenario against Pafos in 8th 3-1 at the end of the round-trip matches and the rapid came in quarter 4-2 at the end of the round-trip matches by losing the first leg each time before making the difference. Last November, Djurgarden finished in a disappointing 4th place in his championship and therefore missed the European Strapontins. The 2025 championship started at the end of March and the men of Jani Honkavara are not imperial at the moment. They are currently 9th and present a slowing record of 2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Note that Djurgarden did not play last weekend in order to best prepare this semi-final go to the league conference.

In the kick-off of this league conference, Chelsea was appointed as the big favorite to raise the title. The London training perfectly meets expectations for the moment and notably carried out a flawlessness during the regular phase 6 victories to win the head of the ranking. Directly qualified for the 8th finals, the Blues were solid against Copenhagen 3-1 at the end of the round-trip matches. In the quarter, they made the difference from the first leg against the Legia Warspie Victoire 0-3 before conceding a non-detrimental setback on the return 1-2. On the national scene, Chelsea fights to finish in the top 5 and thus qualify for the next Champions League. Enzo Maresca's teammates have just chained 4 games without setbacks 2 wins and 2 draws before receiving Everton last weekend to come.

For this meeting, the coach of Djurgarden cannot count on the important midfielder Johansson, the winter recruit Marques, the goalkeeper Nilsson, the winger Aslund and the midfielder Schüller, all insufficiently recovered from their physical seeds. In addition, affected in the last conference league match, the holders holder Zugelj and Fallenius are very uncertain. Finally, the Ekdal (ex-Sampdoria) and Siltanen circles are not qualified for this league conference just like the porter Manoljovic and the Sawo striker. The winger Gulliksen (4 goals in C4) scored a double against Rapid Vienna in the previous round. He should still support the important Nguen striker (3 goals and 5 C4 passes). Of Chelsea side, the side potentially holder Malo Gusto is forced to forfeit this week.

This is also the case for replacement attackers Kellyman and Guiu while the Ukrainian winger Mudryk is suspended. To this are added the absences of defender Fofana and the midfielder Lavia, who are not qualified for this league conference. Enzo Maresca has turned a lot in C4 but could be tempted to align his best possible team now. The French international Nkunku (5 goals and 3 C4 passes) could thus leave the tip of the attack to Jackson (9 goals and 5 PL passes). The Palmer playmaker (14 goals and 8 PL passes) applies to start just like the Fernandez and Caicedo framework.
