Chelsea vs Villarreal: Prediction and Betting Tips

Chelsea looking for their second Super Cup triumph

It has been a very successful change of managers by Chelsea when they sacked Frank Lampard and brought in Thomas Tuchel. The German transformed the Blues completely since he landed in Stamford Bridge last January. Tuchel transformed Chelsea from a club battling for a top-six finish to actually winning the Champions League. As a result, everything changed within the team, style of play, mentality, and will to win.

In addition, The Blues went 14 matches unbeaten since the arrival of the German in a period of two months. Chelsea have kept all of the key players from last season. Also, they offered 100 million to buy Lukaku from Inter but the bid was rejected by the Italians. All this shows that Tuchel is happy with his team and thinks can go on to challenge the major titles with them.

Chelsea key points

• Chelsea have lost six of their last ten matches
• The Blues have scored in eight of their last ten matches
• Thomas Tuchel’s team had four clean sheets in ten matches

Villarreal

• Villarreal has won four of their last ten matches
• BTTS happened in Villarreal’s six of ten matches
• Unai Emre’s team scored in nine of their last ten matches

Chelsea vs Villarreal Prediction

Unai Emre proved yet again last season that he is the king of the Europa League. We saw that when the Spaniard won his fourth trophy with Villarreal last season after winning it with Sevilla three times. Having said that, the Yellow Submarines didn’t have a good preseason not winning a match in six matches.

On the other hand, Chelsea won three of their four friendly games and drew one. On top of that, Tuchel strengthened his attack by signing Romelu Lukaku. That shows the Blues’ intentions of challenging for all the competitions this season.
