Chelsea vs Legia Warsaw Prediction

Chelsea ran riot in the first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final tie in the Polish capital of Warsaw last week. They defeated Legia Warsaw by three goals to nil thanks to a Tyrique George goal as well as a brace scored by Noni Madueke.

The Blues have managed just five victories in 16 Premier League matches and continued their underwhelming form of the last few months with a 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town, fighting back from 2-0 down at Stamford Bridge at the weekend. Legia Warsaw, on the other hand, did rotate heavily as they suffered a 1-0 loss at home to fellow UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finalists Jagiellonia Bialystok in the Polish Ekstraklasa the other day.

Chelsea will once again heavily rotate here with their 3-0 aggregate lead and so, although they should still win comfortably, it may be a case of going through the motions for the hosts.
