Chelsea vs Barrow prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 24, 2024
Barrow
One of the third-round fixtures in the English League Cup will take place on Tuesday in London, where Chelsea will host Barrow at Stamford Bridge. Here's a match prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Chelsea
The "Blues" supporters have long since forgotten when their team last competed for the Premier League title, or even for Champions League spots. Last season, Chelsea managed to secure a European spot, but it's the Conference League—a far cry from the ambitions once held at Stamford Bridge, especially given the significant financial investment made to strengthen the squad.
Chelsea started the new season decently. After losing to Manchester City in the opening round, the Blues have picked up 10 points from their next four matches. Most recently, Chelsea defeated West Ham 3-0 away from home. It's also worth mentioning that Chelsea advanced through the Conference League qualifiers, eliminating Swiss side Servette.
Barrow
The "Bluebirds" finished in eighth place in League Two last season. However, judging by their start in this season's League Two campaign, Barrow has their sights set on promotion.
After seven matches, Barrow is currently sitting at the top of their group, but with teams breathing down their neck, they are only ahead of some rivals on goal difference. Over the weekend, Barrow hosted Newport and secured a 2-0 win. In the League Cup, they have already overcome Port Vale and Derby County.
Match Facts
