Match announcement
Chelsea
Current Form
The team has been striving for several seasons to return to the top ranks, but has yet to contend for the championship. Last season, they managed to secure a spot in the Conference League by finishing sixth. Currently, the team's prospects are more optimistic, sitting fourth in the table, just one point shy of the top three.
They had to qualify for the Conference League through a single round of playoffs. The Londoners faced a tough opponent in Servette, advancing with a narrow margin (2-0, 1-2). However, in the main stage, the hosts have faced no issues, easily defeating both Gent (4-2) and Panathinaikos (4-1). In the third match, the English side is unlikely to drop points.
Suspensions and Injuries
Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, and Cole Palmer are not registered for the tournament. Jadon Sancho is ill, and Omari Kellyman will miss out due to a muscle injury.

They are the sole Armenian representative in the main stage of European competitions. Rui Mota's squad started the main stage with a victory over Mlada Boleslav (2:0). Unfortunately, they couldn't maintain the momentum, losing to Rapid Vienna (0:1) in the second round.

Martin Gambos will miss the match due to injury.

2.45Tip and bets
The teams are vastly different in player quality, so something extraordinary would need to happen for Chelsea to miss out on a win in this match. Enzo Maresca has many top-class players at his disposal, so even significant rotation won't greatly affect the home team's football quality. The visitors can only enjoy the game and try not to concede too many goals.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap (-2.5) on Chelsea at 1.53
Total Goals Bet
The home team is highly effective in the Conference League, recognizing that they face little competition in terms of squad strength. The favorite is likely to attack from start to finish, aiming to score as many goals as possible against the opponent. There will definitely be no shortage of goals in this match.
Our prediction is over 4.5 goals at 2.35
Corners Bet
The home team will dominate the field for the full 90 minutes, leaving the visitors to focus on defense. It's unlikely that the Armenian club will match the opponent in the number of corners taken.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap (-5.5) on corners for Chelsea at 1.75
