Chelsea have lost three of their last Super Cup matches, against Atlético Madrid in 2012, Bayern Munich in 2013 and Liverpool in 2019. They have a poor stat when it comes to the UEFA Super Cup, they’ve won just one Super Cup trophy which came in 1998 since then it has been difficult to get another. Thomas Tuchel could end that Super Cup drought with a win tomorrow.

Villarreal had a poor pre-season, they were winless in their six pre-season matches losing three and drawing three. They lost to Chelsea’s Premier League rival Leicester City and also played a 2-2 draw with Leeds United. They would have to put in more effort to get past Chelsea in the Super Cup. Chelsea won’t be an easy team to overcome, looking at their performances in their pre-season fixtures.

This will be Villarreal’s first UEFA Super Cup encounter and will draw inspiration from the fact that they are undefeated in their last 15 continental matches. Chelsea will be without most of their first team players, though players like N’golo Kante, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech are all available Villarreal might have the advantage.
Who do you see lifting the UEFA Super Cup trophy tomorrow?
