We\u2019re down to the final four in the UEFA Europa Conference League<\/a> and while a lot of people don\u2019t give this competition the respect it deserves, we don\u2019t want to fall into that trap. This is a legitimate part of the European pyramid and for the clubs involved, it serves as a big opportunity for them to get a piece of silverware under their belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this instance, that\u2019s the case for two very different teams – Djurgarden and Chelsea. On the one hand, you\u2019ve got the Swedish underdogs who have scratched and clawed to get their way into the conversation. On the other, you\u2019ve got Chelsea, two-time European Cup winners who will firmly believe that they belong back in the Champions League as opposed to the Conference League.<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s an interesting encounter because on paper, this is going to be one-way traffic. Alas, that\u2019s not how European football works, especially for a team like Djurgarden. They have done everything right en route to getting here and now, they\u2019ll feel like they have nothing to lose. If they\u2019re going to try and build a lead up, though, they need to take their chances in front of what is bound to be an electric home crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Chelsea, this is about continuing to restore the pride that\u2019s been lost in a pretty dramatic way over the course of the last few years. They were once one of the most feared teams in both England and Europe and although it may seem small to some, winning a competition like this will restore some confidence in the Blues.<\/p>\n\n\n

So whether you\u2019re here to take a look at boaboa<\/a> or you just want to know a bit more about the game, we\u2019re here to break down what we expect to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Djurgarden can\u2019t be afraid to be a bit aggressive, especially in the opening 15-20 minutes or so. We aren\u2019t saying they should completely throw caution to the wind because that\u2019s going to get them in a spot of bother, but if they can let Chelsea know from the word go that they\u2019re dangerous and can cause them problems, they\u2019ll earn their respect and make this a much more competitive game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that being said, this game is here for the visitors to take. They don\u2019t want to be too complacent and think they\u2019ve already got one foot in the final, but from a quality perspective, they\u2019re far superior to Djurgarden in pretty much every way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hope here is that we get a game that requires some more work to be done in the second leg, purely from a neutral\u2019s perspective. We do think Chelsea will be the ones who pick up the win, but we also don\u2019t think they\u2019re going to run away with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll make hard work of the game and they\u2019ll have to come through several challenges in order to get over the finish line, but we believe they will win 2-1, setting up what should be a really fun night – and atmosphere – when they head back to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official prediction: Djurgarden 1-2 Chelsea<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
