Astana – Chelsea Betting tip, prediction & odds 12/12/2024

Conference League League phase, 5th matchday, Thursday, 12/12/2024 at 4:30 pm

The Conference League is heading into the final two matchdays. Not much time left for the hosts from Kazakhstan to turn things around.

Especially not against a team that is currently going through the roof like the Blues. The guests have not conceded a single point and have scored 18 goals.

Accordingly, my Astana Chelsea tip expects the Londoners to have a clear advantage and to have an easy game.

Now that the league is over, the focus has to be fully on the international business. At least that must be the motto of the Qalalyqtar.

The Kazakhstan league season ended in mid-November, with the team crossing the finish line just one point behind champions Kairat.

In the national cup, on the other hand, they kept the upper hand. They beat Zhenis 2-0 in extra time, thus securing their place in the qualifying round for next season’s Conference League.

Of course, the Kazakhs also want to spend the winter in this competition. With four points, all of which they scored at home, anything is still possible.

But it will be very difficult to get at least four more points with two matchdays to go. Against the 2021 Champions League winners, it will be a real mammoth task.

And who knows, so far they have performed well in their own stadium. Vitoria Guimaraes also started with three wins until the last game and in the end could not get past a draw.

However, even bookmakers like Leovegas consider it unlikely that the Qalalyqtar will get at least one point and also remain unbeaten in their third home game in a row.

That’s why they are offering odds of well over 3.00 for the Astana Chelsea tip if it’s a draw or a home win.

What’s more, the Blues are currently having a great run. In the Premier League, they celebrated a convincing 4-3 win over Tottenham at the weekend.

Despite trailing 2-0 right from the start, they managed to get the three points in the end. But we shouldn’t expect an early goal against the run this time anyway.

The Londoners have already scored six goals in the first half-hour of this Conference League season. Will the first goal be scored in the first half-hour this time too?

But who knows, maybe the Qalalyqtar will manage to pull off a surprise here with the courage of despair.

In their last four Conference League home games, they have taken the lead at half-time three times. They even won their last home game against an English team (2-1 against Manchester United).

On the other hand, the Londoners’ offense is, of course, overwhelming. 18 goals scored in four games is a record in this competition.

If the English score at least three, you can get odds of around 1.80 at Bet365.

But we should not forget the rigors of the trip either. The Londoners have to make the long journey, where they will face a fresh opponent – and even fresher temperatures.

Therefore, I would put the guests in a better position in terms of play and expect them to win comfortably. But it’s unlikely to be a rout like against FC Noah…

My Astana Chelsea tip is: Away Win with Handicap -1!
