Chelsea Hosts FC Noah in UEFA Conference League: Lineups, Streaming, and Match Preview

Chelsea is set to face FC Noah in the UEFA Conference League at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, November 7, 2024. This match marks a significant encounter for the Armenian side, FC Noah, as it is arguably the biggest match in their fledgling history. Chelsea, under the management of Enzo Maresca, has started the Conference League strongly, with two wins from two games, including victories over Gent and Panathinaikos.

Enzo Maresca is expected to rotate his starting XI for this match, given the differences in the registered roster and the upcoming Premier League fixture against Arsenal. Key players for Chelsea are likely to be rested, with peripheral figures set to feature prominently. The confirmed lineup for Chelsea includes Filip Jorgensen in goal, a defense comprising Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, and Renato Veiga, and midfield and attacking options such as Enzo Fernandez, Tyrique George, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Christopher Nkunku.

FC Noah, founded in 2017, is only the second Armenian side to reach a UEFA group stage and the second to face an English team. Despite their domestic form, with four consecutive wins, Noah’s away form in Europe has been questionable, with three consecutive losses in their recent matches. The team will be without Gudmundur Thorarinsson and Martin Gambos due to injuries, while Goncalo Gregorio is expected to play a key role given his scoring form.

The match can be watched on various platforms around the world, including Paramount+ and ViX in the USA, TNT Sports 1 and discovery+ in the UK and Ireland, and DAZN in Canada, New Zealand, and Portugal.

Chelsea are strong favorites to win, with odds of -5000, and are predicted to secure a comfortable victory. The Blues have a strong record at Stamford Bridge, having won ten of their last 13 European matches at home, eight of which were with clean sheets.
