Chelsea vs FC Noah Prediction and Betting Tips | November 7th 2024
Chelsea welcome Armenian outfit FC Noah to Stamford Bridge in a David-versus-Goliath clash in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday. Enzo Maresca’s men head into the midweek clash fresh off the back of a 1-1 draw with Manchester United and will look to maintain their perfect start to their European quest.
Moises Caicedo scored a stunning volley four minutes after Bruno Fernandes put Manchester United ahead in the second half to snatch a point for Chelsea in their Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Sunday.
This followed a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United on October 30 which saw Maresca’s men crash out of the EFL Cup in the round of 16.
Chelsea, who are currently fourth in the Premier League table, return to action in the Conference League, where they have won their opening two matches, seeing off Gent 4-2 on October 3, two weeks before claiming a 4-1 victory over Panathinaikos.
On the other hand, FC Noah continued their push to the top of the Armenian Premier League standings as they picked up a 2-1 victory over Urartu at the Kotaik Stadium last weekend.
Rui Mota’s men have now won four league games on the spin, scoring 14 goals and conceding just one, to rise into fourth place in the table, seven points off first-placed Urartu.
Noah now turn their focus to the Conference League, where they picked up a 2-0 opening-day victory over Mladá Boleslav before losing 1-0 against Rapid Vienna on October 24.
