After a 2:1 win for Chelsea in the first leg in Denmark, FC Copenhagen will travel to England for the second leg of the Conference League 1/8 Finals at Stamford Bridge in London.
Chelsea had two pretty bad seasons, finishing 12th and sixth, but it was evident that this young squad is trending for the better. This year, the Blues are doing very well compared to the last season, as they sit in 4th place with 49 points from 28 matches. However, the 5th-placed Manchester City are only two points away from them, and they have to keep winning points to secure the Champions League appearance next year. In the Conference League, the Blues looked like the best team in the competition by far, winning all seven games!
FC Copenhagen are among the best teams in Denmark for a very long time. This year is no different, as they are currently in 2nd place with just one point behind the first-placed Midtjylland. However, they weren't that great in the ECL, barely securing the 1/16 Finals, where they eventually eliminated Heidenheim on a 3:1 aggregate. Now, against Chelsea, the bookies give them very little chance to secure the next phase of the competition, offering the odds around 12 for that to happen.
Chelsea vs FC Copenhagen pick: Over 2.5 goals
Chelsea stringled three wins in a row. And at home, the Blues have been excellent, losing just twice in 20 games with a 70% win rate. They have been really efficient in those matches, especially in the last few games, as they scored 17 goals over the previous six - 2.83 per game!
FC Copenhagen have been very good for this bet away from home. If we include the friendlies, the Lions were over 2.5 goals in seven out of the last nine games.
In the first leg, Chelsea won 2:1. Now, FC Copenhagen will have to open up at some point, and considering how efficient the Blues have been at home, that could backfire on the Lions. Considering all the above, we expect another game with three (or more) goals.

Chelsea team news
Malo Gusto suffered an injury in the first leg against FC Copenhagen and missed the previous game against Leicester City. He is questionable for the second leg of the ECL 1/8 Finals. However, Reece James, who also missed the previous game against Leicester, will most likely be ready for FC Copenhagen. The team's captain did not sustain injury and missed the match due to an illness. We believe he will be back for the ECL tie.
Aaron Anselmino, Marc Guiu, Nicolas Jackson, Omari Kellyman, and Noni Madueke, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined. Meanwhile, Mykhailo Mudryk, who tested positive on a doping test, will remain suspended.
