Preview
Chelsea come into the pre-season after securing a 3rd place finish in the EPL 2021-22 season with 74 points to their name.
It wasn’t the best of seasons in terms of results as Tuchel’s team missed out on 2 major trophies being the EFL and FA Cup each as they lost in the finals on both occasions to Liverpool.
However, a 3rd place finish in the EPL was a fair result on the basis of performances throughout.
Tuchel will be entering his 2nd full season with the Blues hoping to win the EPL title and helping the team progress under the new leadership.
Recent arrivals of Koulibaly and Sterling could see a major shift in momentum for Chelsea after they saw Rüdiger and Christensen depart at the end of 2021-22 season.
The Blues play 4 pre-season friendlies before the season opener and will look to gain consistency and see their players firing on all cylinders.
On the other hand, America beat Toluca 1-0 at home in the Liga MX on Thursday in Matchday 3.
Sanchez’s late winner in the 93rd minute ensured a first win for America in the league this season after a draw and loss in their first 2 matches.
With 4 points from 3 matches, CF America is in 6th place on the league table.

Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 America
America is in flow after having got into the groove of playing while Chelsea hasn’t played any competitive football since May and could be slightly rusty.
However, we see the Blues picking up a victory which could see Sterling make his debut during the course of the contest.
