Chelsea’s Conference League average of 4.20 goals per game highlights their exceptional scoring power. With 11 shots on target per match, they consistently create and capitalise on opportunities. Against Shamrock Rovers, who have conceded 1.46 goals per game in the Conference League this seasonagainst much worse opposition, Chelsea’s high-quality attack is likely to breach the defence multiple times. A 3-goal target is well within reach.

Chelsea average 6 corners per game in ECL matches, often forcing defensive actions from opponents through relentless attacking pressure. Shamrock’s defensive vulnerabilities support the likelihood of Chelsea generating over 7.5 corners, as they conceded almost a goal a game in the Irish league and are therefore unlikely to be able to deal with Chelsea’s attack.

Chelsea’s solid defence, has conceded just 0.80 goals per game in the ECL. With only 2.38 shots on target per match, Shamrock’s attack lacks the firepower to challenge Chelsea’s resolute backline. This disparity strongly supports a clean sheet for Chelsea and justifies adding BTTS No into a bet builder.

Shamrock average 1.54 corners per game, and Chelsea’s high attacking intensity often forces opponents into counter-attacking opportunities. With Chelsea conceding an average of 6.20 corners per match, Shamrock can capitalise on set piece chances to surpass the 2-corner mark, even in a defensively demanding game.

Chelsea average 6. corners per game in UEFA competitions, and their relentless attacking play often forces opponents into defensive clearances. Shamrock concede a low average of 2.15 corners per match, however, this has come against much worse opposition and it is highly likely this number will rise dramatically away at Chelsea. With Chelsea likely dominating possession and spend extended periods in Shamrock’s defensive third, they are likely to amass a lot of corners.

Nkunku’s clinical form in the UEFA Conference League, scoring 5 goals in 4 games, makes him a prime candidate to find the net. His ability to exploit spaces and finish chances is enhanced by Chelsea’s high average of 11.00 shots on target per game. Against Shamrock’s vulnerable defence, which allows 1.46 goals per game even against much lower class opponents, Nkunku is likely to continue his scoring streak, especially given his sharpness in European fixtures.

1.57 is a really nice price on this selection given the disparity between the two teams.

Chelsea can afford to heavily rotate and they dwarf the Irish side in terms of resources.

That fact will likely be clear to see in the flow of the game at the Bridge.

João Félix’s outstanding form in this competition, with 4 goals in 4 Conference League games, underlines his ability to perform in key moments. Against Shamrock’s defence, which is likely to struggle against  high-calibre forwards, Félix is well positioned to continue his scoring run.
