Chelsea play Real Madrid in the International Champions Cup final in the early hours on Thursday morning (BST) and we have got a preview and tips for the match.

Real Madrid are so far unbeaten in pre-season but have only managed one clean sheet in that time so Chelsea will fancy their chances of keeping their summer run of wins going following 2-0 wins over both AC Milan and Inter Milan in this competition so far. A repeat of that scoreline here is a best price 21/1 with Bet Victor.

Cristiano Ronaldo will once again be the center of Real Madrid’s play and he has been talking ahead of the match about the new boss:

"We're very happy with the manager.

"We're training well and working to have the best possible start to the season. He's very friendly with the players and that's good for us.

"He's uncomplicated and a great manager. We want to learn from him."

Ronaldo is the favourite to score the first goal of the game at a best price 4/1 (Betway). Fernando Torres and Lukaku are both a best price 6/1 (Ladbrokes) to net the opener.

There is no real value in betting on both teams to score (best price 1/2) but it could be worth looking at betting on under 2.5 goals at 6/4 (Bet365). This is a final both sides will want to win and Mourinho will want nothing more than to get one over on his former employers so expect Chelsea to play this as if it was a competitive game and keep things tight, playing on the break as is the norm with Mourinho’s sides against the stronger opposition.

There is reason to believe Chelsea can actually win this match but the slightly safer bet is to go with Chelsea to win on the draw no bet market at a top price 6/4 with Sky Bet.
