Chelsea is predicted to win against Los Angeles FC - Photo: REUTERS
In the past, Chelsea has had many encounters with American teams, but all were friendly matches with little professional value. On the other hand, Los Angeles FC (LAFC) also has almost no chance to encounter powerful representatives from Europe.
Based on the total value of players (valued by Transfermarkt), Chelsea's strength far exceeds that of their opponents. The squad they brought to America this summer is valued at up to 1 billion euros, 20 times the corresponding figure of LAFC (46 million euros).
Experts predict that coach Enzo Maresca will use the reserve team in this match, similar to how they played in most of the Conference League last season. Players like Penders, Badiashile, Lavia... and two new players Essugo, Delap can start.
If using the reserve team, Chelsea will not easily defeat LAFC. Although not strong, the American team possesses stars familiar with European football. The most prominent are the famous French duo Giroud - Lloris.
LAFC has an entertaining American style of play, scoring and conceding plenty of goals. Their last six games have featured three or more goals, including four in a row where they conceded.
