We predicted the match between Chelsea and Club America
- Looking at the quality of each of these teams in today's match, as well as their transfer budgets, it may seem that there can only be one winner of that confrontation in this team, with Chelsea the strongest candidate.
- However, with it still early in the pre-season, it may not be as easy and comfortable as some expect, as it is very likely that the Mexican team will be sharper thanks to the three league matches they have already played.
- Therefore, while the Blues ' victory still looks like the most likely outcome according to the techniques of each team, I will go with a rather conservative expectation is a 2-1 result for Chelsea in this match.
The latest confrontations between Chelsea and Club America
Coming from two different continents on almost opposite sides of the world, it is perhaps not surprising to hear that these two teams have not met very often in the recent past.
However, there were two previous meetings - the last of those was in 2009 when they met in a pre-season friendly match in Texas in which the Blues won with a score of 2-0.
Two years before that match, the two teams met in California, where Chelsea also took the lead in that match, by a margin slightly narrower than the previous one 2-1 instead of that time.
The match will take place on the grounds of the Allegiant Stadium
Chelsea's match against the Club America team will be played at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, which has a capacity of 61 thousand spectators.
Allegiant is a very modern stadium, which only opened in July 2020. Still, it has already hosted some mega-events, including the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup final, won at that time by the United States, beating Mexico 1-0 after extra time in August 2021.
