Chelsea vs Inter Milan Preview and Match Betting Prediction

Chelsea have flown to the USA to continue their pre-season tour and  the ‘Guinness International Champions Cup’ gets underway for the London side in the early hours of Friday morning where they start with a tough game against Inter Milan.

It’s been a 100% record so far for Chelsea in pre-season, they’ve scored 13 goals in 3 games and only conceded twice. Although the opposition hasn’t been the strongest, they’ve played well against the teams put in front of them and they’ve beaten Singha All-Stars 1-0 in Bangkok, a Malaysia XI 4-1 in Kuala Lumpur and most recently an emphatic 8-1 win against BNI Indonesia All-Stars in Jakarta.

They are looking to continue this record in the USA and Mourinho has taken a strong side with him to do so. That 25 man side also includes David Luiz, Oscar, Juan Mata, Cesar Azpilicueta, Fernando Torres and John Obi Mikel who were not involved in the squad for the pre-season tour of Asia. After scoring 4 goals in the 3 games in Asia, Romelu Lukaku is also involved in the squad and will be looking to continue his goal scoring form.

Inter have also had a fairly good pre-season so far, beating Trentino Team 3-0, they beat Serie B side Vicenza 3-1 before beating FeralpiSalo the following day. Their latest fixture came against Hamburg where they drew 1-1, and although they may be disappointed they didn’t go on to win after being 1-0 up after Icardi scored with only 2 minutes gone, but they will be happy to go into this fixture still unbeaten in pre-season.

Jose Mourinho will surely be looking to ensure plenty of his squad his match fit with only 18 days until their first Premier League fixture of the new season and we can expect to see a lot of variation with the squad. Against stronger opposition Mourinho will relish the opportunity to give both his experienced and less experienced players match fitness against a side such as Inter Milan.

It looks set to be an exciting encounter regardless of the fact it’s a pre-season friendly and with the new season fast approaching, Chelsea’s fans will want to see a positive performance and a continuation of their 100% record.

Many of the major bookies have priced this fixture up, and the best odds for a Chelsea victory at the moment lie with Coral and they are offering 5/6. BetVictor are best priced on the other two outcomes which are 14/5 the draw, and 18/5 for an Inter win.

I also expect there to be plenty of goals in this fixture, and my first selection will be over 3.5 goals at 2/1 with Ladbrokes. I can also see Inter starting the game livelier and will go for a selection in the Half Time / Full Time market and side with Inter to go into half time leading, with the full time score being a draw at 16/1 with BetVictor.
