Chelsea had a turbulent previous season, but they still finished sixth on the table. For the last five rounds, Chelsea were the hottest team in the competition with 15 points during the span, so they hope to translate that level of performance to the upcoming season.
Chelsea opened the preseason and their tour in North America with a 2-2 draw against the League One side, Wrexham. Although Chelsea finished that game with 76% ball possession and doubled Wrexham's shots on the goal, the teams still finished with a draw.
Last season, Celtic dominantly came to the 54th Scottish league trophy. Certainly, their goal for the upcoming year is to defend the Premiership title and to have the best possible performance in the Champions League.
In the previous weeks, Celtic played four preseason matches. Surprisingly, they started with a 1-1 draw against Ayr. However, after that, they won three in a row, including a 4-3 win against Manchester City in the last friendly. Pep Guardiola's team was mostly with reserves in that match, so Celtic secured a big win.
Chelsea vs Celtic pick: Over 3.5 goals
So far this summer, Chelsea only had one match, and in that game, we have seen four goals. On the other hand, the last three Celtic preseason games were with four or more goals. Over 3.5 goals should be the best option for the upcoming tie.
Chelsea team news
We should expect a lot of transfers for Chelsea this summer. The club has already left Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall, Omari Hutchinson, Hakim Ziyech, and Thiago Silva. On the other hand, Chelsea added Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (who came from Leicester), Omari Kellyman (Aston Villa U21), Renato Veiga (Basel), Caleb Wiley (Atlanta), and Marc Guiu (Barcelona). Except for Dewsbury-Hall, the rest of the signings are twenty years old and younger, so we should expect more experienced players in the upcoming weeks.

Celtic team news
The biggest change for Celtics in the upcoming season is in the goalkeeper position as Joe Hart and Benjamin Siegrist left the team. We should expect 37-year-old Kasper Schmeichel (who came from Anderlecht) to become the new goalkeeper, while Celtic also signed young Viljami Sinisalo (from Aston Villa) as his replacement.
