Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall took a notable six shots in the first leg, which is more shots than he’s had in any other game for Chelsea this season. Two of these attempts found the target with Chelsea having 10 shots on target in the game overall, indicating the type of game we will get here.

Dewsbury-Hall has notched nine shots on target across his nine appearances in the Conference League this season (1.09 per 90). This record has returned three goals for the 26-year-old, who has struggled for opportunities in other competitions for Chelsea this season, but has regularly featured and contributed in the Conference League.

This selection is aided by a recent tweak to Dewsbury-Hall’s position which sees him stay higher up the pitch having previously been deployed in a deeper role. This naturally gives him a higher chance of getting shots away and finding the target.

Maxi Oyedele was one of Legia Warsaw’s brighter players in the first leg. He was busy in midfield as shown by the fact he made more tackles than any other player on the pitch (4). He didn’t commit a foul in the game but the referee did play advantage for one of his late challenges, and his duel numbers from the game suggest that he will be involved again here.

Oyedele contested 10 duels in the first leg, impressively managing to win seven of these, which was more than any other player on the pitch. He’s committed four fouls across his four appearances in the Conference League this season (1.41 per 90), which is a record that suggests he could find himself stepping over the line at Stamford Bridge, given the talent he is up against.

Legia Warsaw only committed seven fouls in the first leg, but we can expect this to increase here as they are the away side. They only had 28% of the ball in the initial meeting, which again suggests that they are going to have to get through a lot of work off the ball here. Oyedele is likely to line up against Cole Palmer, who is averaging 1.83 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League this season.

It is no surprise that Chelsea have won the corner match bet in four of their five games at home in the Conference League this season. The dominance they are able to exert on games naturally results in a high corner count with the Blues regularly finding themselves pinning the opposition back in their own half.

Chelsea racked up eight corners to Legia’s six in the first leg which is actually a closer race than many predicted in the corner count, but this disparity should become more clear at Stamford Bridge. The Blues notched a huge 15 corners against Ipswich at the weekend and have won the corner count in their last two Premier League fixtures.

Chelsea were dominant in the first leg in Poland, racking up an xG of 4.17 from 23 shots on goal, 10 of which found the target. This level of attacking dominance is impossible for other sides at this level to compete with, and a similar story should play out at Stamford Bridge.

What is notable is the control Chelsea can have in these games. They had 72% of the ball in Poland, which is a ridiculously high share of the ball for an away side in Europe, further underlining the gap in quality between these sides. This control also makes it impossible for the opposition to string together any kind of momentum, which can hurt Chelsea.

Chelsea have won all four of their games at home in the Conference League this season by an aggregate score of 18-3. They ran out 1-0 winners over Copenhagen in the last round of the competition at Stamford Bridge and can repeat the feat here, even if Maresca decides to rotate his side with the domestic race for Champions League qualification in mind.
