Chelsea – Shamrock betting tip, prediction & odds 19.12.2024

Conference League league phase, matchday 6, Thursday, 19.12.2024 at 21:00

The Conference League is about to enter its final matchday and, unlike in the Champions and Europa Leagues, the international load is kept lower with two fewer matchdays in the third-tier competition.

On Thursday, we will find out who will qualify directly for the round of 16, who will progress to the intermediate round and who will be eliminated. Chelsea are already guaranteed a place in the last 16 after five wins, while Shamrock can also still make it through.

However, even with a B line-up from the hosts at Stamford Bridge, it could be difficult. For my Chelsea Shamrock betting tip at Intertops, I have selected the odds that Chelsea will win both halves

15 points from 15 games, which was definitely the target for Chelsea in the third-tier international competition before the start. With 21 goals, the Blues have the best offense.

Even before the sixth and final matchday, a place in the top eight is assured. The Football Club could take a relaxed approach to the last match. In any case, I expect a few rotations in the starting eleven again

Not only because the ticket for the round of 16 is already secured and the key players are likely to be rested, but also because the opponent is not exactly a great caliber of footballer. The Shamrock players are facing the most important evening of their careers.

They get to play Chelsea FC in a competitive match and, even better, the five-million-euro squad has the chance to reach the last 16 directly with a win to skip the intermediate round.

The new customer bonus from Intertops is of course also great. Click on the graphic, register and enjoy up to 100 euros for your bets.

This is made possible by a very strong performance from the Irish underdogs and the new format. Besides Rovers and Chelsea, only Victoria Guimares are still unbeaten in the Conference League.

While Rovers would probably have had a tougher time in a conventional group with four pots, the luck of the draw worked in their favor in the league system. With New Saints, Larne FC and Borac, they were drawn against three similarly small clubs.

They won all three of their matches and also fought out a draw against Rapid Vienna (1:1) and Apoel Nicosia (1:1). They are therefore already guaranteed a place in Europe for the winter. Now the game against Chelsea awaits at the end.

Like the Londoners, Shamrock have conceded just four goals, a strong figure that could easily be doubled against Chelsea. The bookmakers are expecting a very one-sided game.

At Bet365, which is known for its lucrative odds boosts, we get 1.05 for a Chelsea win, 12.0 for a draw and 21.0 for an away win.

A big advantage at Bet365 is that the odds are free of betting taxes. You can also use the code: “VIPANGEBOT” for a big bonus. Using the betting configurator, you can put together a much more lucrative total odds for this match.

Or you can take a handicap odds, the -1 with its 1.22 is at least suitable for a combination ticket for Conference League Thursday. With the -2 handicap, on the other hand, a 1.58.

A tight affair would surprise me a lot and yes, I have it on my screen that the hosts will probably be on the pitch with a mixed eleven. But it shouldn’t be a lackluster game.

After all, the reserves will get a chance to apply for other, more important assignments. And we are still talking about very high quality.

Young guns Marc Guiu and Deivid Washington are the only outfield players with a market value in the single-digit millions, but are still individually twice as heavy as the entire Shamrock squad!

And Chelsea are doing pretty damn well anyway under Enzo Maresca, who took over the reins in the summer break. With ten wins and four draws from 16 Premier League games, the Blues are Liverpool’s number one hunters.

Cole Palmer’s team, who are not involved in the Conference League, have now won seven games in a row. Their last defeat came at the end of October in the EFL Cup against Newcastle (0:2).

Another huge advantage over the Irish is that Chelsea are in the rhythm of the competition. The Irish league is not year-round. The season has been over since early November. Between the Conference League games, there was only one test match against HJK Helsinki (0:2).

In the Premier Division, it just wasn’t enough for the championship this time. Shelbourne were three points better. As a result, Shamrock will go straight into the Conference League qualifiers next season.

Conclusion: For me, everything really speaks for a clear victory for the hosts here. Chelsea have had no problems in the Conference League so far and, in my opinion, only now have the most grateful opponent at home.

They have already qualified for the round of 16 and the Londoners can play freely. Rovers have been out of league action for a month and a half and have played just four games since the end of the season.

The Irish are still unbeaten. They are likely to get a thrashing against Chelsea. The difference in quality is enormous and the Blues are at home. But whatever the outcome for Shamrock, it will probably be the biggest highlight of the players’ careers.
