Djurgarden vs Chelsea Prediction, 02:00 May 2: David vs Goliath

TPO - Football review Djurgarden vs Chelsea, European Cup C3 - Information on forces, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. Djurgarden is aiming for a big shock in the Conference League when facing Chelsea. But it is difficult for the Swedish club to continue to cause surprises.

Prediction before the match Djurgarden vs Chelsea

Djurgarden are writing brilliant milestones for Swedish football and clearly, nothing can stop this small club from dreaming. Djurgarden became the first Swedish team to reach the semi-finals of the European Cup in 38 years. The last Swedish club to reach the semi-finals of the European Cup was Gothenburg in 1987. At that time, Gothenburg were the overall champions of the UEFA Cup.

Djurgarden achieved an incredible feat after a dramatic extra-time win over Rapid Vienna. Djurgarden overturned the deficit against Rapid with a 4-1 victory in the return leg in the Austrian capital.

Djurgarden are on a magical journey. Two decades ago, they were up and down the leagues. In the 1990s, the club almost went bankrupt due to financial problems.

Yet now they are the leading lights of Sweden, and even of Northern Europe, on the continental stage. “I have never had the chance to face such a strong team. Of course it will be a difficult match but we can beat Chelsea,” said midfielder Kosugi, speaking of his pride in reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup.

Djurgarden are dreaming but they are unlikely to extend their journey

Form, head-to-head history Djurgarden vs Chelsea

Both teams are coming into this match with a lot of worries. Chelsea have not found their form yet, having won only half of their last four matches. Away from home, the London club have lost five of their last nine away games.

But Djurgarden is not much better. This team has a similar form to Chelsea with alternating wins and losses. Even at home, in the last 5 matches, Djurgarden has lost 3 and won only 1.

It can be said that the field is unlikely to be a strong support for Djurgarden in this match, not to mention that Chelsea is very dominant every time they meet Swedish representatives, with 5 wins and 3 draws, without losing any match. In the last 14 matches in the European Cup, The Blues won 8, drew 5 and lost only 1.

Team information Djurgarden vs Chelsea

Djurgarden have suffered a series of injuries, with striker Patric Aslund and midfielder Oskar Fallenius among 14 players sidelined, while former Sweden international Albin Ekdal remains sidelined.

Number one goalkeeper Jacob Rinne is also in doubt after missing training due to illness. The Swedish club have a 28-man squad but are without half their options. "Hopefully we don't have to play against Chelsea with 14 players," said coach Honkavaara.

On the other side of the front line, Chelsea lost a few options, including Mudryk, Guiu, Lavia, Fonfana... However, the number of players is not too important to them.

Djurgardens: Croon; Stahl, Une Larsson, Danielsson, Kosugi; Stensson, Finndell; Bergh, Gulliksen, Haarala; Nguen.

Chelsea: Jorgensen; James, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella; Lavia, Dewsbury-Hall; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
