Chelsea continue their march towards European silverware when they visit surprise package Djurgarden in the first leg of the Conference League semifinals.
The Blues have strolled into the last four of Europe's third most prestigious club competition, topping the league phase table with six consecutive victories before knockout wins over Copenhagen and Legia Warsaw. Should they topple Djurgarden in the semis—and they certainly should—they will meet either Real Betis or Fiorentina in the showpiece fixture.
The Conference League would mark Enzo Maresca's first piece of silverware as Chelsea manager and secure them a spot in next season's Europa League—although the latter could prove immaterial if the west London giants qualify for the Champions League via their domestic performance.
Djurgarden's chances of toppling Chelsea are incredibly slim despite their impressive recent European showings. They have conquered Pafos and Rapid Wien during the knockout stages under new manager Jani Honkavaara, but haven't duelled a side of Chelsea's stature for many years.
