Betting Predictions
On Thursday night, Chelsea will face Servette in the first leg of their playoff tie at Stamford Bridge to begin their inaugural Europa Conference League season.
In this two-leg match, the victor will move on to the newly expanded 36-team Conference League, and the loser will be out of the competition in Europe.
Head-to-Head
On Thursday night, the two clubs will come into contact for the first time. When Chelsea faced Swiss competition in the Champions League group stages of 2013–14, they triumphed both at home and away against Basel. Chelsea’s most recent match ended in a loss against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. When Servette and Braga last played, Servette lost 2-1. The goals for Servette came from Dereck Kutesa in this Europa League game at Stade de Geneve.
Team News
Reece James, Chelsea’s captain, is remains sidelined as he recovers from a hamstring injury, and Marc Cucurella is questionable after leaving the game in the last moments against Man City due to what appeared to be a knee issue.
Since Maresca has made Chilwell available for transfer, Colwill may start at left-back if Cucurella is ruled too injured to play, allowing Tosin Adarabioyo to make his Blues debut in the center of defense. Three more summer additions, Jorgensen, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Pedro Neto, may get the opportunity to make their club debut. Mudryk, Madueke, and Marc Guiu will also be in the running to make the starting lineup.
The same could be said for Raheem Sterling, but his status is still uncertain following the posting of a statement from his agent asking for “clarity” soon after he was left off of Chelsea’s squad for their game last weekend.
Regarding Servette, Haberli made significant adjustments for the decisive Swiss Cup win over the weekend. Since there are no new injuries to report, he is anticipated to return to his strongest starting lineup. Dereck Kutesa started and scored the previous time out against Signal, but it’s unclear if he’ll play on Thursday.
According to Haberli, Kutesa missed the last game against Braga due to illness. However, the player’s agent refuted that claim, stating that the winger, connected to Saudi Arabia, has received offers to quit the team.
It is anticipated that first-team regulars Steve Rouiller, David Douline, Gael Ondoua, Alexis Antunes, and Enzo Crivelli will start; the latter two are most likely to combine for an offensive goal.
Probable Line-Up
Chelsea XI:
Jorgensen; Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Lavia; Palmer, Dewsbury-Hall, Neto; Guiu.
Servette XI:
Frick; Tsunemoto, Rouiller, Severin, Mazikou; Douline, Ondoua; Stevanovic, Antunes, Kutesa; Crivelli.
Verdict
Tip Chelsea to Winâś…
Reason
Even if Servette cannot be completely written off, Marasca will see Thursday’s match as an excellent chance to establish himself as Chelsea’s manager. The Blues will also be considered strong favorites to win at Stamford Bridge, even if multiple changes are made to their starting lineup.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goals❌
Reason
With several players looking to make an impression and an abundance of attacking alternatives at their disposal, the Blues, who fell 6-0 to Basel less than two weeks ago, may easily put a few past Servette. The Blues scored an amazing 29 goals in that nine-match stretch at the close of the previous season.
Net-bulging action is undoubtedly on the schedule, as five of Servette’s eight games this season have gone beyond 3.5 goals, and the same wager has paid off in six of Chelsea’s last ten home games.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
