Chelsea vs Celtic preview

Chelsea kickstarted their US tour with a 2-2 draw at Wrexham in midweek - and need to improve against Celtic here.

The Blues took the lead before having to score late to rescue a draw against the League One side.

Enzo Maresca - linked heavily with the Celts job before Ange Postecoglou's appointment - had a mixture of first team players and youngsters in his starting side.

But he'd have been most pleased to see Christopher Nkunku on the scoresheet, with the forward poised for a big campaign this term.

For Celtic, they were great in the first half in particular as they beat English champions Manchester City in midweek.

Nicolas Kuhn's first half double and sublime assist for Kyogo was a real standout for the Hoops, who enter the final stages of their pre-season with the Premiership restarting next weekend.

Chelsea vs Celtic betting tip

Goals

Four goals in Chelsea's game with Wrexham and it could quite easily have been a heck of a lot more.

But Celtic's last three games have bought 21 goals, including seven in the clash with City - where they scored four.

Celtic's season kicks off next week and they'll likely be much more match fit and the attacking players will cause Chelsea problems.

Defensively, they're still struggling though. Chelsea can capitalise.
