Our prediction for: Chelsea – Swansea
Chelsea starts with the first chance to get a new title in the Premier League. Jose Mourinho’s band has a fairly easy task in the first round against a team they defeated in the previous five direct meetings. Swansea strengthened its inter-season with players like Eder, Andre Ayew, Tabanou or Nordfeldt. The difference between the two combatants, however, is too high, so I expect the Londoners to impose with ease.
Our prediction for: Feyenoord – Utrecht
Feyenoord brought in this summer on Kuyt and Elja, and the rest has made some interesting acquisitions. Rotterdam band meets a modest opponent who excels when playing away from home. Utrecht also has a fragile defense, which most likely will easily succumb to the powerful strikers box.
