Personal analysis: Chelsea's overall performance this season is pretty good. Except for the personnel changes at the beginning of the season that affected the team's short-term combat effectiveness, the basic performance is normal. Jackson, Maduekai and Palmer are the iron triangle on the front line. If there is no injury, these three people basically occupy the starting position. The other winger is one of Neto and Sancho. The entire front line has basic breakthrough and positional warfare offensive capabilities, and all aspects of ability are relatively balanced. The midfield is basically a combination of Enzo + Caicedo. Enzo's attitude towards playing football this season is relatively better. His running and passing on the field are basically above the qualified line. Caicedo's offensive and defensive abilities are quite good, especially his vision observation ability in the midfield area is relatively good. The two full-backs Cucurella and Gusto on the back line have good ability to participate in the attack, and they are also good at defending speed forwards, but they will suffer a little when encountering strong confrontation forwards. The central defenders Chalobah and Colwell are quite capable. Los Angeles FC is a relatively strong team in the US professional league, especially the left forward position Boanga, whose breakthrough and passing and shooting abilities can basically rank in the top three in this position in the US professional league. Giroud, who was introduced this season, has a small role in the center position. Except for being able to do some support in the middle, he has no great effect. His shooting and physical strength have declined a lot compared to before. On the right forward position, Odaz and Martinez have good skills at foot, and their cooperation with Tillman behind them is relatively average. This player basically covers the entire midfield area, and from time to time he will run to the right to cooperate with Boanga, responsible for most of the through balls and medium and long passes in the midfield. The left back Hollingshead on the team's defense line is also used as a fulcrum behind Boanga, and the rest of the players are more defensive. The team's counterattack ability on the wing is not weak.

Chelsea's overall strength is definitely stronger than Los Angeles FC, but Los Angeles FC's midfield and left-wing offensive capabilities are not bad. Although they cannot reach the level of the top five leagues, they are at the level of the European second-tier leagues. In particular, Boanga is basically a main striker in the top five leagues. Whether Chelsea can win this game depends on the strength of the lineup. If it is not all the main players, it is not easy to win a big victory. In this game, Chelsea's 1.75 goal handicap is a bit high, especially since the current data changes are relatively large. Lao Li believes that the organization's support for Chelsea is a bit too strong. Los Angeles FC's offensive and defensive capabilities are not bad. Lao Li does not expect Chelsea's possibility of kicking through to be too high, and the score is expected to be 2-1 or 3-1.
