Legia take on the visitors Chelsea in the first leg of UEFA Conference League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, April 10th at Stadion Wojska Polskiego (Warsaw).
Legia can fully focus on this tournament. The Army Men remain one of the flagship clubs in Polish football. However, they haven’t managed to reclaim the domestic league title for several years now. This season, last year’s bronze medalists are only fifth in the Ekstraklasa, and it’s already clear they won’t even match that previous result — they’ve fallen too far behind. On the European stage, though, Legia have made an unusually deep run, albeit in the Europa Conference League. They started back in the summer from the qualifying rounds, clearing three stages. In the group stage, they opened with four straight wins, including an impressive result against Betis. Despite losses to Lugano and Djurgården in December, they survived the Round of 16, overcoming Molde 3-2 on aggregate — with Gual’s extra-time goal in the 108th minute sealing their progress. With no realistic title hopes at home, Legia are likely to put all their energy into this continental campaign.

Chelsea s clearly placed more emphasis on climbing the Premier League table this season. Early on, they didn’t even register Cole Palmer for European competition. After narrowly edging Servette in qualifying, Chelsea’s second-string squad — with standout performances from Mykhailo Mudryk — swept the group stage with six wins from six. For a while, their domestic form improved too, and they rose to second in the Premier League. However, their recent form has dipped, with early exits from the domestic cups and a noticeable slide in the league standings. With a top-three finish now out of reach, their primary focus will likely be on securing a Champions League spot — even if it means finishing fifth, depending on UEFA allocation. That said, they won’t turn their nose up at European silverware, especially with first-team regulars featuring in the recent win over Copenhagen.
This will be the London giants’ first-ever visit to the Polish capital. Enzo Maresca’s men seem determined to settle the tie in Warsaw itself. Back them to win on Thursday with a -1.0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with -1.0 handicap.
