Arsenal – Chelsea Prediction & Picks (01.08.2018)

Wednesday evening, at 20:00, Arsenal and Chelsea meet in Dublin in a friendly match that counts for the International Champions Cup tournament. We will see a lot of reserves in both camps, but especially in Chelsea’s team, doing various experiments.

With new coaches on the bench, Unai Emery and Maurizio Sarri, the two bands are looking for the ideal formula before the new season. But Chelsea will be without Hazard, the most important creative player in the batch, while the “tuners” will bet on a strong offensive tirdent: Ozil – Lacazette – Aubameyang. Sarri does not put a lot of money on the friendly, but Emery wants to get back to Arsenal. Recently, Londoners have won 5-1 against PSG.

Arsenal won the last direct match with 2-1, and the previous 4 disputes ended in draw, 0-0 twice, 2-2 and 1-1. In this friendly on Aviva Stadium we will see a better movement of the ball on the side of the “tuners”, who also have the argument of homogeneity in front of the rival in the capital. Judging the probable teams on the post, Arsenal is superior.
