Thursday 004 Europa League > Chelsea vs. Zogatons Chelsea holds a four-goal advantage. Can Zogatons create miracles at home?

- The Blues' rotation lineup is rushing to the finals, and the Nordic dark horses need to give it a try in a fight.

First leg review: Chelsea won 4-1 away, Palmer led the offensive storm

In the first leg match on May 2, Chelsea swept Zogatons 4-1 away, almost secured a place in the finals. Key events of the game include:

Lightning score: In just 37 seconds of the game, Enzo made an accurate diagonal pass to assist Sancho to push and score, and the Blues quickly took the initiative.

Midfield dominance: The midfield combination of Kesedo and Enzo showed off their offense and defense. The former assisted Sancho to score twice after stealing, while the latter contributed two key passes.

Substitute surprise: Maduaike completed a hat-trick after making a substitute, showing the depth of Chelsea's "fourth-tier bus" lineup.

Zogatons made a flash in the pan: In the 78th minute, Zogatons used a corner kick to win a goal by central defender Eriksen, but it was difficult to hide the gap in overall strength.

Tactical Highlights: Chelsea's possession rate is as high as 65%, and it created 19 shots through wide breakthroughs and middle penetration. Although Zogatons tried to counterattack 5-4-1, the midfield loss caused the counterattack efficiency to be inefficient.

Brand fundamental analysis: Blues' rotation is worry-free

Chelsea: The rotation strategy shows its power, and there are hidden worries in the defense lineup

The lineup depth crushes: Chelsea's entire team is worth more than 1 billion euros, more than 10 times that of Zogatons. Even if the rotational substitute players (such as Muderick and Hall) still have the main level of the Premier League.

Defensive hidden dangers: The main central defender Fifana has been injured for a long time, Gusto and Uji are suspected of playing, and the substitute central defender combination Badiacile and Disasi's high-altitude ball defense success rate is only 58%. We need to be wary of the opponent's set pieces.

Tactical flexibility: Coach Maresca is good at switching between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 formations, and may continue to consume the opponent by controlling the ball in the second round. The combination of Palmer and Sancho's side and middle is still the key to breaking the situation.

Zogadons: Away strength has become the only bargaining chip

Advantage: This season, the UEFA United won 5 wins and 1 loss at home, including defeating strong teams such as Lazio, but the crushing defeat in the first round exposed the shortcomings in offense and defense.

The offensive weakness: Average of only 1 goal per game in the last 10 games. After the main striker Solbaken was injured, his offense relied more on crosses from the wing, but it may be difficult to achieve the interception of Chelsea full-back Kukurelia.

Defensive line loophole: He was shot 19 times in the first round, central defender Eriksen turned slowly, full-backs were not able to assist in defense, and was easily penetrated by Chelsea's quick counterattack.

Highlights of the second round and the rotation philosophy of key players

Chelsea: Will Maresca continue the "all substitutes" strategy? The performance of substitutes Maduaike and Hall in the first leg has proved the effectiveness of rotation.

Zogatons' set-piece offensive: 35% of the team's goals come from set-pieces. Facing Chelsea's air defense weakness, Eriksen's header may become a hope for a comeback.

Palmer's control: If Palmer directly participates in 39 goals (26 goals and 13 assists) this season, he will dominate the rhythm of the game, and his pass success rate reaches 88%, which is the core of the midfield.

Prudent prediction: There is no suspense in Chelsea's promotion, but we need to be wary of the home atmosphere

Data support: Chelsea won all 6 games, scoring 3.2 goals per game; Zogatons needs to win 4 goals before turning the tables, with a probability of less than 5%.

Potential risks: Chelsea's excessive rotation may affect defensive focus, while Zogatons' home artificial turf and low temperature climate may interfere with the Blues' technical flow.

Final judgment: Chelsea has a high probability of defending the victory with the minimum consumption, and Zogatons won a small away game but it is difficult to change his fate of being eliminated. Score prediction: Zogatons 1-2 Chelsea (total score 2-6 Blues advanced) or Zogatons 1-1 Chelsea (total score 2-5).

The final chapter of the Nordic fairy tale? Although Zogatons has a brilliant record, he has little hope of counterattack in the face of Chelsea's lineup thickness and tactical qualities. In the second round on May 9, was the Blues steadily advanced or the tragic chapter of the Nordic dark horse writing its last quest? The answer is about to be revealed!
