Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-------------------------------
Chelsea will face Bayer Leverkusen in their second-to-last pre-season friendly after recently winning the Club World Cup, while Leverkusen come off a 3-0 win over Pisa.
Team Analysis:
Chelsea’s strong win over PSG boosts confidence for the 2025-26 season, despite concerns about fatigue from extra matches. They finished fifth last season with solid offense and defense, ending with an impressive run of 14 wins in 16 games. A win against Leverkusen would extend their home winning streak.
Leverkusen struggled last season, finishing far behind Bayern and losing key players. New coach Erik ten Hag has seen mixed pre-season results but recent away form was unbeaten, though often drawing.
Player Situation:
Chelsea have invested nearly £250m on eight new players, with Joao Pedro possibly making his home debut. Key midfielders Caicedo and Fernandez aim to build fitness, while Reece James is expected to captain a back four including Chalobah, Colwill, and Cucurella.
Opponents hope Malik Tillman debuts behind striker Kofane, with Palacios and Andrich likely midfield starters. New signing Quansah may join a back three defense alongside Hincapie and Tapsoba.
Result Prediction:
Chelsea will start strong at home, energized by their recent Club World Cup win, but Leverkusen, being further in preseason, may capitalize as Chelsea tires in the second half.
Predicted Result: Chelsea 2-2 Bayer Leverkusen.
