Chelsea is the champion of the UEFA Champions League in the 2020/21 season. The Blues won the title after beating Manchester City in the top party with a score of 1-0 through Kai Havertz's goal.
On the other hand, Villarreal is the champions of the UEFA Europa League in the 2020/11 season. The Yellow Submarines came out as champions after beating Manchester United with a score of 11-10 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time.
Ahead of this match, Chelsea is in pretty good shape. Chelsea just drew 2-2 against Tottenham Hotspur in a test match last week. The draw left Chelsea unbeaten in their 4 pre-season games this year. Previously, Thomas Tuchel's troops managed to win over Arsenal with a score of 2-1, Peterborough United with a landslide score of 6-1, and AFC Bournemouth with a score of 2-1.
Meanwhile, Villarreal is in bad shape ahead of this match. Villarreal just drew 2-2 against Leeds United in a test match last week. The draw made Unai Emery's troops not win even in their 6 pre-season matches this year (W0 D3 L3).
Chelsea and Villarreal themselves have never met before. This match will be the first meeting between the two teams.
If you look at the recent performances of the two teams, Chelsea will clearly be more favored over Villarreal in this match.
However, Chelsea still has to be wary of Villarreal. The reason, Villarreal is not an easy opponent to beat.
