Conference League 2024-2025: Chelsea-Djurgarden, the likely lineups

London’s Stamford Bridge will stage the Conference League semifinal return match between Chelsea and Djurgarden. The first leg had ended with a clear victory by the Londoners four to one. The Blues come to the challenge against the Swedes after winning three to one at home against Liverpool in the Premier League.

Djurgarden, on the other hand, comes to the challenge at Stamford Bridge after drawing one to one in the Swedish league against AIK.

Maresca is not expected to change much in the lineup that went down to Sweden. Still 4-2-3-1, with Jorgensen between the posts. The two center-backs in front of him who should instead be Adarabioyo and Colwill, with the two full-backs most likely to be Cucurella and James. Lavia and Dewsbury-Hall in front of the defense, with Enzo Fernandez as a trequartista. The two outfielders will be Madueke and Sancho. Jackson will be the sole point.

Djurgarden should instead confirm everything as in the first leg. Mirror scheme, so still 4-2-3-1. Croon should start in goal, with the two center-backs in front of him expected to be Danielsson and Tenho. The two full-backs in all likelihood should be Kosugi on the left and Stahl on the right. the two midfielders in front of the defense should instead be Stensson and Siltanen. Priske will be the trequartista, while Haarala and Gulliksen will act on the flanks. Sole forward Sawo.
