Chelsea, two-time Champions League winner, is close to winning the Conference League for the first time in its history.
Idman.biz reports that the London club's opponent in the semi-finals will be the Swedish team "Djurgården", which has reached this stage for the first time in European cups and was worn by our national team's forward Musa Gurbanli in 2023-2024.
The clear favorite of this pair is known.
A more intense struggle is expected in the other pair where "Betis" and "Fiorentina" will face each other.
"Betis", where our veteran football player Vali Gasimov played in 1993-1995, is currently in 6th place in the Spanish La Liga.
"Fiorentina" is in 8th place in the Italian Serie A.
Although the rivals have not met in official matches, Betis' 3:1 victory in a preparation match in the summer of 2022 has gone down in history.
It should be noted that the "Djurgården" - "Chelsea" and "Betis" - "Fiorentina" matches, which will be held today as part of the first matches of the UEFA Conference League semi-final stage, will start at 23:00 Baku time.
