Game Preview
The Blues are on fire and have looked fantastic over the last ten matches. Enzo Maresca’s crew has eight wins and two ties and is currently riding a seven-game winning streak.
Surely, the Italian manager will rest the best players here and allow the youngsters to play. The last time they did that was in Astana, Kazakhstan, whom they defeated 1-3 on the road. Marc Guiu netted a brace, and Pedro Neto assisted on both occasions.
On the other hand, Shamrock Rovers is one of the biggest positive surprises in Europe this season. The Irish unit is still undefeated, recording three triumphs and two ties, which placed them sixth in the standings.
Now, before the competition began, pretty much nobody saw them in the playoffs, yet they are here. Shamrock’s previous game was against Borac Banja Luka, whom they trashed 3-0 on December 12.

Chelsea vs. Shamrock Rovers Prediction
The Blues will send the younger players, who are hungry for some attention, and that’s not good news for the guests. Our pick here is for the Blues to score at least five goals, which is reasonable knowing their firepower and the difference in quality.
