LIVE SCORES: Chelsea (England) Vs Club America (Mexico) Everything You Needs To Know About The Match

Chelsea will be aiming to finally kick-start their pre-season when they lock horns against Club America at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

It’s not been the best of starts to pre-season for Chelsea and new manager Enzo Maresca. The 44-year-old Italian head coach is yet to oversee a victory following a 2-2 stalemate with League One Wrexham and a disastrous 4-1 defeat to Celtic at the Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana.

Club America, already deep into their domestic season, will certainly pose a formidable challenge, with six points having been picked from four 2024 Liga MX Apertura games.

Chelsea vs Club America Prediction: The Blues must step up

Key stats

Chelsea are yet to win under Enzo Maresca
The Blues are yet to score more than two goals in a match this summer
Club America have won half of their opening four Liga MX matches

Correct score prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Club America

At some point, Chelsea have to click into gear under Maresca and we can see this game being the perfect opportunity. Club America have not had the best of starts to their domestic campaign so the Blues must show what they’re capable of.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Maresca’s men should have too much

Home: 3/4 (1.75) – 57.1%
Draw: 3/1 (4.0) – 25%
Away: 16/5 (4.2) – 23.8%

Despite not looking overly impressive so far on their tour of America, Chelsea do have a very impressive squad and one which should have too much for their opponents. Naturally, it’ll take time for Maresca to implement his ideas on this team, but he needs results to start looking more promising.

The fact Chelsea are without several regular starters we can see both teams getting on the scoresheet given the two sides are at different levels physically. Remember to check out our plethora of free betting tips to increase the value of your punts.

Most recent H2Hs: A slight advantage for Chelsea

Chelsea picked up a win in the only other time they’ve faced Club America in 2022. Goals that day came from two former Blues players in the form of Mason Mount and Timo Werner, so it’s going to be a totally different outlook this time around.
