Chelsea vs Legia Warsaw Preview and Team News
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea, who are one of the favourites to win the UEFA Europa Conference League this season, will want to brush aside any challenges sent their way by Legia Warsaw in this quarterfinal encounter.
The fact that the second leg of this match is being played at Stamford Bridge will give the Blues a lot of confidence, and their supporters will turn up in huge numbers to cheer their lungs out.

Chelsea have appeared a different side altogether this season under new manager Enzo Maresca, who has brought about winds of change at the London club.
With the addition of Jadon Sancho, the Londoners have become sharper in the final third. Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson have also tried to play their roles as effectively as possible.
As for injuries, Maresca will be without the services of Gabriel Slonina, Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman, Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana in this match, with the latter ruled out for the rest of the season owing to a muscle injury.
Nonetheless, Chelsea have enough reserves to make up for the loss of these important players.

Legia Warsaw Team News
The first thing that Legia Warsaw need to do when they arrive at Stamford Bridge is not get overawed, either by the occasion or the atmosphere inside the stadium.
They know that they will have to outplay their opponents by quite a bit, and the vociferous nature of Chelsea’s supporters will make it quite hard for them to focus.
The fact that this is the second leg of their quarterfinal encounter will add even more pressure on the side from Poland, and they will have to focus on being mindful with the ball.

This applies to them especially inside their own half, where they cannot make the costly mistake of allowing Chelsea’s attackers to run freely without being marked.
Unfortunately, Gabriel Kobylak, one of their most important players, will not be available in this game due to a knee injury, as will Jan Leszcynski, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to an ACL tear.
Warsaw’s impressive final third performance has positioned them well in their country, but playing in Europe against Chelsea will not be easy.

The fact that they are the top scorers of the Ekstraklasa with fifty goals currently will make them a potent threat to Chelsea in this game – the home team can take them lightly only at their own peril.

Legia Warsaw predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-3-3): Tobiasz; Wszolek, Pankov, Kapuadi, Ruben Vinagre; Elitim, Augustyniak, Kapustka; Chodyna, Luquinhas, Morishita.
Bet hereChelsea vs Legia Warsaw Prediction
- Pick: Chelsea to win
- Odds: 1.21 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Legia Warsaw
Chelsea are the overwhelming favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so without any fuss.
Manager Maresca has often stressed the importance of keeping ahead whenever his team gets the momentum, and the same will be the case in this match.
The Blues like to dominate with the ball, and become hungry to snatch it back whenever they lose possession. This makes them one of the most fearful sides in the Premier League as well.
Chelsea vs Legia Warsaw Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
- Odds: 1.37 (22Bet)
A total of over 2.5 goals will be expected in this game, which is just about enough to see Chelsea through to the semifinals of this tournament.
Chelsea have enough ammunition in their forward ranks to dismantle any challenge thrown their way by the visiting side, and it will be an exciting watch for the neutral spectator in this game.
Chelsea have a far superior attacking unit, but Legia cannot be taken lightly, especially with their backs to the wall.
Under such situations, it will not be impossible to see them bring out their best, especially when it comes to finishing chances in front of the goal.
