Enzo Maresca speaking to the press ahead of Chelsea's match against Djurgarden
Chelsea are set to host Djurgarden in the second leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final, aiming to secure their place in the final. The Blues hold a commanding three-goal lead after their impressive 4-1 victory in Stockholm. Although Isak Alemayehu's late goal for Djurgarden keeps a glimmer of hope alive for the Swedish side, Chelsea's dominant performance suggests they are well-positioned to advance.
Fresh off a victory against Premier League champions Liverpool, Chelsea will enter the match with strong momentum. Having long been considered favourites to win the Conference League, they will be eager to live up to those expectations. Cole Palmer's recent goal against Liverpool, ending his scoring drought, adds another layer of confidence to the team as they prepare for this crucial fixture.
Djurgarden, on the other hand, face an uphill battle. Their domestic campaign has been challenging, with the team languishing in 11th place in the Allsvenskan after six matches, partly due to several key injuries. A recent draw against second-placed AIK offers a hint of recovery, but overcoming Chelsea's significant lead at Stamford Bridge remains a formidable challenge.
With Chelsea's strong form and home advantage, Djurgarden will need an extraordinary performance to overturn the deficit and keep their European dreams alive.
