Chelsea vs AC Milan Preview and Team News
Chelsea Team News
This is the Blues’ final friendly match of the preseason. Even though Enzo Maresca’s men didn’t have a long summer schedule, they stayed busy after winning the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Expect a lot of rotation from the English giants, as they shouldn’t take too many risks with the start of the 2025-26 Premier League season right around the corner.
Chelsea have been extremely active throughout the transfer window, parting ways with several non-regulars and adding elite talent, particularly on the attacking end with the signings of Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, and João Pedro.

With a large squad still available, expect Maresca to rotate the side heavily in this contest. From a tactical perspective, that should lead to lots of open spaces as the game progresses.
In the Club World Cup, Chelsea defeated the likes of Benfica, Palmeiras, Fluminense, and PSG on their way to lifting the title.
They look like solid title contenders ahead of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, and a convincing win over Milan would give them a timely boost in morale ahead of their EPL opener against Crystal Palace on August 17.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs AC Milan (4-3-3): Sánchez; Gusto, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernández, Palmer; Pedro, Delap, Neto.
AC Milan Team News
Unlike Chelsea, AC Milan have had a more conventional preseason campaign, although it’s hard to draw firm conclusions from the matches they’ve played. They opened with a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, but bounced back with a 4-2 victory over Liverpool. Their most recent contest doesn’t resist analysis whatsoever, as they thumped Perth Glory in a 9-0 blowout win.
Thus, this matchup against Chelsea could be a solid measure to determine just how well prepared Milan are for the upcoming 2025-26 Serie A campaign. The Rossoneri finished the previous season in a disappointing eighth place and will be under pressure to do better this time around.

The arrival of Max Allegri to the bench should revitalize the team, but they also need improvements from within to mount a proper title challenge.
The Italian side did a good job of strengthening their squad over the summer. While they lost Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City, the club brought in Samuele Ricci, Luka Modrić, and Ardon Jashari, along with Pervis Estupiñán to bolster the left flank. Milan could use reinforcements up front, but they already look competent enough to face all their domestic challenges in 2025-26. A win over Chelsea would further reinforce that belief.
AC Milan predicted lineup vs Chelsea (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Thiaw, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Ricci, Modrić, Loftus-Cheek, Estupiñán; Leão, Pulisic.

Chelsea vs AC Milan Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Chelsea to win
- Odds: -104 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Chelsea 2-1 AC Milan
Chelsea should be considered favourites for this match, and for good reason. They’re playing at home, have a deeper squad, and have recently enjoyed tons of success after winning the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Don’t expect either side to risk their starters too much, but any heavy rotation should still work in the London club’s favour, given their superior depth compared to the Rossoneri.
The Blues looked strong defensively during their Club World Cup run, but they might be missing some key pieces for this game, such as Levi Colwill and Reece James. Milan might find the back of the net at some point, but all things considered, Chelsea should still win.
Chelsea vs AC Milan Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score – yes; Chelsea to win
- Odds: +200 (Tonybet)
This will be the final preseason tune-up for both clubs. Thus, there should be a plethora of changes during the second half, which might translate to an open game as action progresses. Fringe players will have one last chance to showcase themselves before the start of the campaign.
The Serie A giants have decent quality in the attacking third, but so do Chelsea. While the Blues are the superior side and should be able to take care of business at home, a scenario where both teams find the back of the net can’t be ruled out, as evidenced by Milan’s previous friendly against an English club (a 4-2 win over Liverpool).
