Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
Champions against cup winners say this weekend in the countries of Europe quite often. The Supercup is on the program and in England the teams of Chelsea FC and Manchester City face each other in the battle for the so-called Community Shield. Venue is the Wembley Stadium in London and thus at least locally a kind of home game for the Blues. In the game of Chelsea against Manchester City, however, according to the betting odds, the championship team around coach Pep Guardiola is still the favorite.
Chelsea:
Last season was not Chelsea-style at all. As champion of the season 2016/2017 and thus went into the race as defending champion, Chelsea in the end did not even succeed in the top four. Thus, the blues missed the participation in the Champions League this season. In the final bout, 21 wins, seven draws and ten defeats were the only disappointing fifth place, just five points behind fourth-placed Liverpool. In the group stage of the premier class in the last season Chelsea gave on the final day still one place out of hand and then met as second in the second round in the second round of the FC Barcelona, against which the Blues drew 1-1 at home and 0-3 away away. In the League Cup Chelsea had failed in the semifinals to city rivals Arsenal. Chelsea narrowly won the FA Cup in the final against Manchester United, winning 1-0 thanks to an eleven-minute penalty, but this trophy did not really consume the overall disappointing season.
Antonio Conte cleared his coaching post and Maurizio Sarri of Naples took the helm. Otherwise, Chelsea remained surprisingly calm on the transfer market. With Jorginho followed the protégé of Sarri near Naples his coach, but otherwise there are actually no cracker, the Chelsea steered to the Stamford Bridge. Michy Batshuayi has returned from Dortmund, but could be re-awarded. On the side of the departures, there is nothing interesting to announce at all. At the International Champions Cup, Chelsea beat Inter Milan on penalties and lost in the lottery against Arsenal a few days later. On Tuesday, Chelsea will face their last game against Olympique Lyon at this mini-tournament.
Manchester City:
Manchester City are already through with the International Champions Cup and have already completed their three games in this tournament. Against Borussia Dortmund Citizens lost 1-0, against Liverpool conceded the Skyblues a 1: 2 defeat. Even in the third game against Bayern looked after less than half an hour, everything after the third bankruptcy. After 24 minutes, Manchester City was already behind with 0: 2. But the team of Pep Guardiola turned the game and could still win 3-2 and thus make a conciliatory departure, even if the tournament is not the most important anyway. Manchester City made headlines only with the signing of Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City), otherwise the Citizens remained cautious so far. There are no known departures.
Angus Gunn, who was in the preseason behind Ederson and Claudio Bravo goalkeeper number three in the squad of Manchester City in the preseason was the money in the box. But the transfer window is still open, so that there is still something to do, even if the very big speculation for personal details at Manchester City does not exist. In the preseason, Manchester City won both matches in the Premier League against Chelsea. With a total of 32 wins, four draws and only two defeats, Manchester City was enthralled by anyone and everything. In the penultimate season, the championship season of Chelsea, however, both duels went to the Londoners. The last Community Shield won Manchester City in 2012. Opponents then: Chelsea.
