Chelsea continues personnel restructuring. It began a year earlier when the London team started to buy players, and none of the three coaches could not cope with such a diverse and unplayed team. Now Mauricio Pochettino is the head coach, who will try to at least learn by name all the players of the capital club. Among the next recruits, it is worth noting Nicholas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, and from the losses stand out Kai Havertz, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Christian Pulisic. Renewed Chelsea played four control meetings in the summer, in which they managed to win three times, and there was a draw with Newcastle - 1:1.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia last season had a phenomenal opportunity to break the 10-year dominance of Bayern in the Bundesliga. The Bumblebees were leading the standings with a home game against unmotivated Mainz ahead of them. Of course, the team from Dortmund could not win, snatching a 2:2 draw in the very end, which made them only the vice-champion of Germany. After that, the Yellow-Blacks have already played five friendlies in the summer, in which they won five consecutive matches with a total score of 21:5. Still, clearly, they would have been willing to exchange all these successes for one single victory in the 34th round of last season.
Expert Betting Tips
Chelsea and Borussia look great in control meetings, not allowing defeats. The team makes an especially pleasant impression on Dortmund, which won in all five previous friendlies. The missed championship in the last round of last season probably cheered up the Bumblebees, who have now decided to show their class from the very first summer games. It is important to note that Edin Terzic has a balanced and well-played squad, while Mauricio Pochettino is still getting to know the capabilities of his charges.
We have the right to expect a high-scoring activity from the upcoming confrontation. Even at last season's finish, Borussia started a series of productive matches, which continues until now. In the nine previous battles involving the Bumblebees, there were about 46 shots on goal (5.11 per game on average), and in all nine cases, the bookmaker's total over was reached. The Londoners are not shy of playing openly and spectacularly either.
