Why Bet on Chelsea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea is coming from an atrocious season, which did not allow them to qualify for any European competition for the 2023-24 campaign,<\/strong> that is why the owners have taken this time to configure the squad under the command of the new coach, the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blues are coming off a 2-1 win over Fulham and have had time to try out new players such as Christopher Nkunku, Andrey Santos, Malo Gusto, Angelo, Cesare Casadei, Nicolas Jackson and, above all, the young Levi Colwill, from whom there are high expectations. In addition, Pochettino has been gradually demonstrating his trademark game of good possession and solid defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far Chelsea has won three of their four friendlies, beating Wrexham, Brighton, and Fulham, while drawing 1-1 with Newcastle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea sends great stars such as Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, N’Golo Kant\u00e9, Christian Pulisic, C\u00e9sar Azpilicueta, and Edouard Mendy to other teams, while defenders Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile are injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Dortmund?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Borussia Dortmund is coming from a season in which the Bundesliga glory was very close, losing the title on the last day to Bayern Munich. <\/strong>That is why the management has opted for the continuity of coach Edin Terzic, who will have a squad depleted by the departure of Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Germans have just defeated Manchester United 3-2, with goals by Donyell Malen (2) and Youssoufa Moukoko. For this market they invested 30 million euros in midfielder Felix Nmecha, coming from Wolfsburg, and Marcel Sabitzer, who spent last season at Manchester United, although he belonged to Bayern Munich. In total, the team has invested 49 million euros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far Dortmund have won all their matches in the preseason, although they have been weak opponents in most of them, except for the Red Devils. Also, they haven\u2019t lost a game since April 5, when Red Bull Leipzig beat them 2-0 in the DFB Pokal. In total are 10 wins and 3 draws counting Bundesliga and friendlies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The toughest casualty is Bellingham, who left for \u20ac103 million, but Portuguese full-back Raphael Guerreiro also left the team. Injured are young strikers Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Julien Duranville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis: Chelsea vs. Dortmund<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Great match for the USA Tour<\/a> where Chelsea arrives renewed with Mauricio Pochettino, but Borussia Dortmund had a really good year and the continuity of Edin Terzic could be a key element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers at MyBookie.ag have Chelsea as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows +125, meanwhile Borussia Dortmund has +190 and the draw is +260.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams met in the last Champions League in the Round of 16, with Dortmund winning 1-0 in Germany and Chelsea 2-0 in England, so the Blues advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for a straight win for Dortmund in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at +190, you will gain $190 for a total payout of $290.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
