Enzo Maresca's Chelsea are set to play Serie A champions Inter Milan in a pre-season friendly at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Chelsea:
Enzo Maresca's Chelsea are set to face Serie A champions Inter Milan in their final pre-season friendly at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea finished sixth in the Premier League last season, and despite a strong finish, they parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino, appointing Maresca with hopes of a more attractive, Guardiola-inspired style of play. However, pre-season results have been underwhelming, with only one win in five matches and a recent 4-2 defeat to Manchester City. Maresca has acknowledged defensive issues, but fans remain hopeful with potential signings like Pedro Neto to bolster their attack.
Inter Milan:
The Nerazzurri come into this match after a dominant Serie A campaign where they finished 19 points clear at the top. Under Simone Inzaghi, Inter boasted the league's best offense and defense, scoring 89 goals and conceding just 22. With only one away loss last season, Inter have shown their strength on the road. Their pre-season has been solid, with three wins, one draw, and one loss, including a 2-0 defeat to Al Ittihad in their last outing. This match against Chelsea serves as their final test before starting the new Serie A season against Genoa.
Prediction: 1-3
