The statistics for this game still generally favor Chelsea, however, for this trophy, obviously the Yellow Submarine wants it more.
There is only one thing to speculate about this game, and that is how much will the Blues put into it? Well, let’s start sharing our game today!
Chelsea
The Blues Chelsea won the Champions League again last season despite being underwhelmed, which can be said to have a deep impact on the whole Europe.
At present, Chelsea’s 3421 lineup is very mature. The midfield is bursting with talent, the forward line has Lukaku, and the backline is the only issue for Chelsea at the moment.
Center back Silva is experienced and has no problem with frontal defense. But with the fast pace of the Premier League game, he needs teammates who can provide support behind him. Zouma, Rüdiger, including Christensen, are not enough to carry the task.
It is said that Tuchel intends to put Alonso and Reece James in the center back position, if so the overall defensive ability of the left and right side of the midfield will come down. So we still need to observe how Chelsea will be adjusted in the new season.
If Chelsea want to take the game, should not be a big problem. But let’s see, 3 days after the opening game of the EPL, the Blues will face Crystal Palace and Villa in addition to the two home games, the remaining 3 away opponents are Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.As a team that wants to compete for the title, these games are stumbling blocks.
As a team that wants to compete for the title, these games are stumbling blocks. Once there is a loss, for the overall layout of the Blues will have a great impact.
So this game Chelsea will definitely be a rotating lineup, warming up mainly. If you can take the game the best, the main thing is not to affect the later games. This may be the idea of the Blues.
Villarreal
The visiting team Villarreal, last season the league in the middle, in the Europa League to take the title. Head coach Emery is worthy of being the king of Europa.
Unlike Chelsea’s emphasis on the league, I think Submarine’s attitude is much more casual. After all, La Liga Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla are the top four resident guests. With the team’s ability, it is certainly good to earn Champions League qualification, or just keep Europa League qualification is also very satisfying.
From the warm-up games, the team played very poorly. The main problem is defense. 2 draws and 3 losses in 5 games still make people a little worried about the season’s performance.
Comprehensive analysis
As I said earlier, the Blues are bound to focus mainly on the league. The input must be inferior to Yellow Submarine. Otherwise, the visiting team may not have an advantage. Chelsea’s 3 centre-backs emphasize midfield control, which is very restraining to Villarreal’s lineup.
It is likely that Chelsea will not play with their full strength in this game. Maybe Tuchel has more tactical drills on his desk to face Crystal Palace than this game.
Prediction one：Villarreal+1.25@1.464
Prediction two：Both teams to score-yes@2.1
