Chelsea vs Club America Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Pre-season Friendlies 2024

The Blues are yet to register a win under Enzo Maresca.

Things have gone from bad to worse for Chelsea after another woeful performance from the team in the 4-1 loss against Celtic. Despite Enzo Maresca looking at the brighter side, the team is still adapting to his methods.

The Blues haven’t been at their best so far after failing to win any of their preseason games. However, we cannot deny the fact that if they sort out the defence and start to be clinical in front of the goal, this team has all the attributes to be a potent weapon in the upcoming season. 

Club America have endured a mixed start to their new season after gathering two wins and two losses from the opening four matches. Currently, they are occupying the ninth spot in the Liga MX and will be hoping to improve their early season form. 

With Liga MX at a halt for the time being, Andre Jardine’s side have a wonderful chance to test themselves against the best in the business. They are set to face two Premier League outfits in the form of Chelsea and later Aston Villa. The Blues will be a familiar opponent for them after facing them in the 2022 pre-season friendlies. 

Kick-Off:

Thursday, 1 August 2024 at 12:30 AM UK, 5:00 AM IST

Location: Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Form:

Chelsea (in all competitions): W-W-W-D-L

Club America (in all competitions): W-L-W-L-W

Players to Watch

Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) 

Raheem Sterling was signed to guide Chelsea to the top again. However, he has failed to live up to the expectations in the past two seasons. The new season however is another chance for him to become the main man at the club.

His early showings in the preseason are a glimpse of the talent he brings to the side. He will likely start after putting in a fantastic performance against Celtic to win the penalty. 

Henry Martin (Club America) 

The Mexican international has been in red-hot form for the club this season having scored 11 goals in the last eight matches while also providing three assists for the team. Henry Martin has been one of the best strikers in the Liga MX after consistently scoring 18 or more goals in the last two seasons. Martin not only is clinical in front of the goal but also has an eye for creating chances for his teammates.

Injury & Team News

Enzo Maresca is likely going to make some changes here after their disappointing loss against Celtic. Raheem Sterling, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Malo Gusto will likely keep their place hereafter positive showing in the last match. We expect Chelsea to shuffle their team here.

Meanwhile, Club America have no injury concerns in their squad. They will likely field the same eleven that secured the win against Juárez in the last match.
