Chelsea vs Club America prediction

Chelsea will look to turn around a shambolic start to the USA pre-season tour that has seen them share the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Welsh side Wrexham before an embarassing 4-1 loss to Celtic on Saturday in Indiana in their second match. The Blues take on Mexican outfit Club America in the wee hours of Thursday morning as they continue to amp up their preparations for the upcoming 2025/25 Premier League season. They’ll play two more matches in the United States after this, tackling Man City and Real Madrid, before returning to England to face Inter Milan in their final friendly of the summer on August 11.

Mexican side Club America kicked off the defense of their league title with a mixed bag of results. They started with a shock loss to San Luis, their first league defeat since April. However, Andre Jardine’s men bounced back in style on matchday two with a convicing 3-1 victory over Queretaro in their first league game on home soil this season before losing and winning their next two league games. This friendly against a formidable Premier League team is a welcome opportunity for them to try and regain their focus in their own league campaign

We expect an end to end encounter with both teams trying to get a reset after some unpleasant results. As such we can expect a lot of goalmouth action that should yield plenty of corners either way. We are therefore picking at least 10 corners here as our opening Chelsea vs club America prediction for this match
