Chelsea vs Djurgårdens Recent Form
Chelsea are in scintillating form, having secured a 4-1 win over Djurgårdens in the first leg, with Nicolas Jackson scoring a brace, and Noni Madueke and an own goal contributing to the rout. The Blues followed this with a 3-1 Premier League victory over Liverpool, where Enzo Fernández, Cole Palmer, and an own goal sealed the win. Chelsea’s recent form shows four consecutive wins, including a 1-0 victory over Everton and a late 1-0 win against Fulham, with Pedro Neto scoring in the 93rd minute. Sitting fifth in the Premier League with 60 points from 34 games, Enzo Maresca’s side are balancing domestic ambitions with a strong push for the Conference League title.
Djurgårdens, on the other hand, are struggling to maintain consistency. Their 4-1 loss to Chelsea in the first leg exposed their defensive vulnerabilities against top-tier opposition. In the Swedish Allsvenskan, which has just started its 2025 season, Djurgårdens have earned eight points from six matches, sitting mid-table. Their recent form includes a 1-0 win over Öster, draws against GAIS (0-0) and AIK (1-1), and the heavy defeat to Chelsea. With only 13 points from six Conference League group-stage games and a tough 4-2 aggregate win over Rapid Vienna, Djurgårdens face a monumental task to overturn a three-goal deficit at Stamford Bridge.
