This is Chelsea’s final friendly before they play title winners Manchester City in their opening game of the 2024-25 Premier League season on August 18.
Despite a strong end to the Premier League season, in which Chelsea won their last five fixtures and lost just once in their last 15 top-flight games, manager Mauricio Pochettino was dismissed at the end of the season. Leicester City boss Maresca was appointed in place of Pochettino, with promises of an attractive style of football akin to that of Pep Guardiola.

More positively, the Blues have been strongly linked with Wolves star Pedro Neto, and his signature would complement the creativity of Cole Palmer in the forward line.
Opponents Inter won their second title in four seasons last term, and this match against Chelsea is their final game before they begin their 2024-25 Serie A campaign against Genoa on August 17. In truth, the Nerazzurri ran away with the league title in 2023-24 and finished 19 points clear of second-placed AC Milan, as well as 41 points clear of 2022-23 title-winners Napoli.

Chelsea have demonstrated that they still have a lot of work to do defensively, and it would be unsurprising to see them concede chances after losing the ball in build-up. Additionally, while Neto would enhance their attacking firepower, he has not yet signed, and the Blues could struggle if Palmer does not start.
Chelsea 2-2 Inter Milan, predicted by us.
