Chelsea and Inter will play their final friendly before the start of the new official season. The meeting will take place on Sunday, 11 August, and will start at 16:00 CET. Dailysports analysts have prepared a forecast for this game.
Chelsea
The Blues have already played five friendly matches. The team's results are not very encouraging. Chelsea have won only one game, defeating Club America 3-0, but have suffered three defeats in a row: against Celtic 1-4, Manchester City 2-4 and Real Madrid 1-2. There was also a 2-2 draw against Wrexham. The match against Inter will be the final sprint, after which the Blues will start the season in the Premier League. In the first round, they will face the reigning English champions Manchester City.
Chelsea also made several transfers in this transfer window. Also, according to insiders, Wolverhampton winger Pedro Neto will join the London team. The transfer fee is 60 million euros. In addition, Chelsea got a new coach before the start of the season. Instead of Mauricio Pochettino, Enzo Maresca took over the team.
Inter
The team also played five friendly matches in preparation for the new season. Inter have better results than Chelsea in these friendlies. The Nerazzurri won three times, drew once and lost once. The reigning Italian champions will kick off the new Serie A season against Genoa on Saturday, 17 August. During the transfer window, Inter also strengthened its squad. In addition, midfielder Zielinski and striker Taremi can be singled out for sure. By the way, after the championship season, Inter signed a new contract with their coach Simone Inzaghi.
