Real Sociedad**Chelsea's preseason continues to be a mixed bag, and Real Sociedad are hunting sharpness before the real stuff kicks off.** Both sides are 2-1-2 in their last five, so there's no clear edge on form — just two teams trying to dial things in. 🔵
Chelsea had that wild 3-3 draw against Johor, then beat AC Milan convincingly, but slipped to Juventus. Real Sociedad hammered Aston Villa 4-2 but have lost their last two on the road. The visitors won't have Á. Odriozola due to a knee injury, while Chelsea will be without M. Mudryk for this one.
Key storylines:
- **C. Palmer** and **E. Fernández** will be pulling strings for Chelsea's young midfield, trying to find rhythm before the season proper
- **A. Zakharyan** is a creative spark for Real Sociedad in the middle, but the defensive shape could be tested by Chelsea's tempo
- Both teams are clearly still building match fitness — expect some loose moments and squad rotation vibes
Expected lineups:
- **Chelsea**: R. Sánchez, J. Hato, O. Subuloye, L. Colwill, M. Caicedo, C. Palmer, J. Gittens, E. Fernández, G. Quenda, D. Satpayev
- **Real Sociedad**: Á. Remiro, S. Gómez, J. Martin, L. Beitia, P. Marín, J. Gorrotxategi, A. Zakharyan, Y. Herrera, J. Ochieng, O. S. Óskarsson
Prediction:
**Chelsea 2–1 Real Sociedad.** Slight edge to the hosts at Stamford Bridge in a friendly that'll feel scrappy but lean toward Chelsea's deeper squad rotation.
