Chelsea Seeks Resurgence in European Opener Against Servette Chelsea’s European journey commences with high expectations as they host Servette for the first leg of their Conference League qualifier at Stamford Bridge. Following a challenging start under Enzo Maresca, where Chelsea faced defeat against Manchester City, the Blues are primed for a robust showing against a seemingly less formidable opponent.
The matchup is poised in Chelsea’s favour, particularly considering their stellar home record and Servette’s recent form, which includes a solitary win against lower-tier opposition in the Swiss Cup. Despite a likely rotation by Maresca, Chelsea’s depth ensures that the quality remains high, with players such as Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall set to make significant contributions.
Moreover, Chelsea’s remarkable tally of 29 goals in their last ten home fixtures starkly contrasts with Servette’s struggle for goals, as evidenced by their meager output in last season’s Conference League games. The likelihood of Chelsea capitalizing on Servette’s recent 6-0 defeat to Basel is high, anticipating another goal-rich performance at Stamford Bridge.
With historical trends and current form suggesting a match rich in goals, backing Chelsea to dominate in a high-scoring European encounter seems a prudent choice.
Tip – Chelsea win and over 3 goals at 23/20
