Both teams are wrapping up their preparations for the new season and will now play their final matches before the competitive campaign gets underway. Chelsea have played five friendly matches, winning two, losing two and drawing one. Sociedad have played one more match, losing three, winning two and drawing one.
Last season, the Basques and the Blues both finished 10th in their respective leagues. However, Sociedad at least won the Copa del Rey and will play in the Europa League. The London club reached the FA Cup final but lost to Manchester City.
Chelsea will begin the new season in a week, on Monday, August 24, when they face Fulham in the opening round of the English Premier League. Real Sociedad will play their first match earlier, on August 21, against Real Betis.
