Chelsea vs Noah prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2024-11-06 20:00.
[p]Topping the UEFA Conference League table ahead of the round, Chelsea will strengthen their bid for a top-eight finish if they see off Armenian outfit Noah here after making a perfect start to their campaign (W2). The Blues have scored four times in both their wins in the competition so far against Gent (4-2) and Panathinaikos (4-1), although they have won just one of their past three competitive games since that win against the Greeks (D1, L1). [/p]
[p]Enzo Marescaâs side havenât kept a clean sheet in any of their past eight matches stretching back to a 5-0 Carabao Cup win over Barrow in September. While we might see a much-changed XI here with a huge game against Arsenal coming up at the weekend, ending that disappointing defensive run might be considered as crucial as getting the win in this one for Maresca, who could take comfort from the fact Chelsea had secured wins âto nilâ in three of their four European home matches before their matchday one success over Gent. [/p]
[p]Noah begin the round in mid-table after one win and one defeat from their two matches against MladĂĄ Boleslav (W 2-0) and then Rapid Vienna (L 1-0). While theyâre only two games into the league phase, this is already their 11th match of this seasonâs competition, having become the first side to successfully navigate all four qualifying of the competition over the summer.[/p]
[p]They are winless across their last four away trips within that run (D1, L3), but while Chelsea represent a concerning step up in quality, they should arrive in England with a degree of confidence. Thatâs because theyâve won five of their past six matches, with just one goal conceded across those wins which came this past weekend in a 2-1 domestic victory over Urartu. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jadon Sancho hasnât featured in any of Chelseaâs previous four matches, but has overcome illness and is expected to be fit enough to feature here – he scored in his first home European appearance last season as Borussia Dortmund beat PSV in March. Although yet to open his European account in the competitionâs main draw, Noahâs Gonçalo GregĂłrio has scored four goals across his last four domestic appearances. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Four of Chelseaâs last five competitive matches have produced at least one goal before the 30th minute. [/p]
