Chelsea vs Legia Warsaw Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Chelsea versus Legia Warsaw is expected to be a one-sided contest, as the home side are favourites to win the UEFA Europa Conference League and hold a 3-0 aggregate lead coming into the second leg of this quarter-final tie at Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca’s men have won all nine of their Europa Conference League matches this season, having beaten Gent (4-2), Panathinaikos (4-1), Noah (8-0), Heidenheim (2-0), Astana (3-1) and Shamrock Rovers (5-1) in the Group Stage, while defeating FC Kobenhavn 3-1 on aggregate in the Round of 16.

Legia Warsaw have lost four of their last five matches in this competition, having suffered defeats to FC Lugano (2-1), Djurgarden (3-1), Molde (3-2) and Chelsea (3-0).

The Blues have scored 18 goals across four home matches in the Europa Conference League, an average of just over four per game, hence why we are predicting a comfortable victory for Chelsea.

Prediction: Chelsea 4-0 Legia Warsaw

On Thursday night, Chelsea hosts Legia Warsaw in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final tie, with the home side coming in as heavy favourites to win the game.

Date: 17/04/2025

Location: Stamford Bridge

Time: 8pm

As previously mentioned, Chelsea ran out as comfortable 3-0 victors in Poland as Tyrique George scored his first goal for the Blues, while Noni Madueke fired in a brace. During this match, Christopher Nkunku also had a penalty saved by Legia Warsaw’s Kacper Tobiasz.

This competition represents a good opportunity for Chelsea to win a trophy, having not won one under their current ownership, having won the Club World Cup in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel. Should Chelsea progress, they will play one of Djurgarden or Rapid Vienna in the semi-finals.

Enzo Maresca’s men have been flawless in this competition thus far, as they’ve won all of their last nine matches in this competition, however, their recent Premier League form has been a reason for concern, as the Blues have slid down to sixth-place with 54 points from 32 games, seeing them one point behind fifth-place Manchester City.

Legia Warsaw are fifth in the Polish Ekstraklasa with 44 points from 28 games, meaning that they are 11 points off the European qualification places with just six matches to go. However, they have managed to reach the final of the Polish Cup where they’ll face Pogon Szczecin.

In the Europa Conference League, Legia have managed to progress past the likes of Molde 4-3 on aggregate in the Round of 16. In the Group Stage, they finished in seventh-place with 12 points from six matches.
