AS Roma vs Tottenham
2018, July 26, 04:00 hrs (CET Time)
International Champiosn Cup

Two offensive teams face each other, in the match that indicates the beginning of preparation for Tottenham for the new season. As well as the continuation of the preparation of Roma, which has played two friendly matches, win against Latina 0-9 and draw against Avellino 1-1.

The Roma with Monchi in the sports direction, together with Eusebio Di Francesco in the technical direction have managed to build a team that returned to be protagonist in the Champions League, as in Serie A.

The biggest change in Roma was the departure of goalkeeper Alisson to Liverpool, for which they signed Robin Olsen. Likewise they have been reinforced with Justin Kluivert, Javier Pastore, David Santos among others.

On the part of Tottenham we will see a youth lineup, since most of its stars are on vacation after their participation in the World Cup. However they are not defenseless, with Aurier, Eriksen, Lucas Moura and Heung-min Son will have important weapons, although it is expected that they will play at the most half time.

The game is played in San Diego, California at the San Diego County Credit Union Stadium. So we have a neutral venue. By being a friendly match at multiple substitutions at half-time are expected.

I believe that who will win is reserved, and if perhaps the offensive vocation of both squads will come out and should drop goals. Due to preseason we will use a medium stake.

Benfica vs Lyon
2018, August 01, 22:00 hrs (CET Time)
International Champions Cup

Match that faces the third position of the French League, against the second place of the Liga Portugesa.

Rui Victoria intends to use this match as Benfica's preparation for the Champions League qualifying against Turkish Fenerbache. The team has drawn two draws, against Dortmund and against Juventus. After two games in America, Benfica returns to Portugal for their last game of the ICC, at the Algarve stadium faces Lyon.

The French team replaced Sevilla, due to their commitment in the Europa League qualifiers and the Spanish Supercup. After this confrontation they will go to Lecce to play against Inter and close their participation against Chelsea in London.

For this match the team has played four friendly games in preparation for their season. With two victories, against Fulham and Wolfsburg. With a 2-2 draw against Sion and a 3-1 loss to Huddersfield Town. If something has characterized the games is that there have been goals, so the offensive vocation is contrasted.

It is friendly therefore multiple changes are expected during halftime. An even match is expected, Benfica have kept draws to important teams and Lyon has important offensive players, starting with Memphis Depay. But for sure there will be goals.

Real Madrid vs Juventus
2018, August 05, 00:00 hrs (CET Time)
International Champions Cup

The current champion of the Champions League against Vecchia Signora of Italy. Encounter that seems to take off sparks. Although Cristiano Ronaldo still has not debuted with Juventus after his transfer from Madrid to Turin, there are enough offensive elements to think that it will be an attractive match.

For Juventus this will be their third match of the International Champions Cup, the team is undefeated, with a 2-0 victory against Bayern Munchen and a 1-1 draw with Benfica, in which they won the series of penalties. Before this match played against MLS stars, again a 1-1 draw with the victory in penalties. For what has been a good pre-season for the team, Andrea Favilli has seized the opportunity, scoring in two of the three matches, confirming why he was signed from Ascoli. With his 21 years old he will have the challenge of competing with Cristiano Ronaldo for a place in the team or complement him. The goal keeper position had a major change, by the departure of Buffon to PSG, so Perin and Szczęsny have covered the goal of the team.

For its part Real Madrid opened the season in the same way as they close the season with over matches, 8 matches with more than 2.5 goals, for the match against Manchester they lost 2-1, but Karin Benzema scored. While the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo is a considerable absence, it is possible that it will be solved correctly with the current players, everything depends on Bale staying healthy, as when he is focus, he is a force to be reckon. With a trident formed by Vinicius, Bale and Benzema, they have the challenge that Cristiano's absence does not weigh in.

Of the last seven matches, six have finished with 3 goals or more. Only on one occasion has Juventus been left without putting a goal on the scoreboard. It should be mentioned that all those matches have been in Champions League stages. In this match only the honour is at stake, and the preparation of both for the start of their respective tournaments. Both teams have enough offensive elements to continue the trend. Additionally it is a friendly and we will see multiple changes in the half time, therefore a medium stake is adequate.
