Blues take a commanding two-goal lead to Switzerland for the second leg of their play-off tie
A comfortable 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge last week has put the Blues on course for victory in this two-legged play-off tie.
The Swiss side threatened for large parts of the first game yet were undone by a Christopher Nkunku penalty and powerful finish by Noni Madueke on what was generally a pretty quiet display from Enzo Maresca’s team.
Any such doubts among Chelsea fans have been forcefully extinguished since then however, with the 6-2 Premier League rout of Wolves at the weekend.
Servette vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 7.30pm BST kick-off later today on Thursday August 29, 2024.
The match will take place at Stade de Geneve.
