Chelsea and Villarreal will face each other in the battle for the UEFA Super Cup trophy. Both teams want to kick off the season successfully and will search for a win in this clash.
Chelsea vs Villarreal Match Preview & Team News
Although they were not considered favorites in the latest Champions League finals, Chelsea managed to win the trophy for the second time in history. A narrow 1:0 victory was enough for the Blues to beat the odds and their Premier League rivals, Manchester City. However, the last campaign didn’t seem promising for the English side, as they struggled a lot. Nevertheless, when Thomas Tuchel took over the bench, Chelsea improved its form significantly. Jorginho and the lads were very disciplined, and although they didn’t score too much, their defense was almost unbeatable. Chelsea enjoys a successful pre-season, and they still haven’t tasted a defeat after four games played. However, they need to tighten the defense, as the Blues failed to keep the clean sheet in each of them.
Villarreal went to the Europa League title after beating two English sides in the last two rounds. They booked a place in the finals after being better than Arsenal, while Gerard Moreno and the lads celebrated a penalty shootout victory over Manchester United. Unai emery proved that he is the king of this competition, as he won it once again. However, the Yellow Submarine hasnโt been so convincing in the prep matches so far. They failed to win in all six pre-season games played so far, managing to keep their net intact only once. Nevertheless, Villarreal eyes another continental trophy, and an English team stands their way once again.
