Chelsea vs Djurgarden: Conference League prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, odds today

Chelsea will tonight bid to confirm their spot in the Conference League final as they host Swedish side Djurgarden in their semi-final second leg.

The Blues will take a comfortable three-goal cushion into the tie after winning the away leg 4-1. It was a near-flawless performance in Stockholm, though Isak Alemayehu’s consolation goal means a Djurgarden turnaround is not entirely out of the question.

Having beaten Premier League champions Liverpool last time out, Chelsea will come into the match with some momentum as they look to make good on their long-established status as the out-and-out favourites to lift the Conference League.

Now Cole Palmer has finally broken his extended goalscoring drought, with a penalty in the Liverpool win, Djurgarden’s task is made all the more daunting.

Djurgarden are enduring a difficult start to their domestic season, slumping to an uncharacteristic 11th in the Allsvenskan with six games played following a series of first-team injuries. A draw at home to second-placed AIK last time out hints the storm may be lifting, though overturning Chelsea’s lead will be a mighty task.

Chelsea vs Djurgarden is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight,Thursday, May 8, 2025.

Chelsea have cruised to reach this stage of the Conference League. Even in losses to Servette and Legia Warsaw, few ever considered that they might be knocked out.

Their position as the competition’s favourites was rarely more credible than in the first leg against Djurgarden, where they cruised to a 1-4 win in which their hosts offered little attacking threat beyond an awkward set-piece.

While Djurgarden will dream of a remontada, they will realise the relative impossibility of turning over Chelsea’s three-goal lead.
