Lancy vs Terre Sainte - Friendlies Clubs

A fascinating Friendlies Clubs chapter awaits on July 31, 2026 when Lancy take on Terre Sainte at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Catch up with all the action from Chelsea's pre-season clash with AC Milan.

Both camps will view the Friendlies Clubs meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. The hosts will hope that the the home ground crowd can inspire a performance, whatever the numbers suggest. Terre Sainte will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. Ipswich would be open to permanent offers for the winger, who has three years to run on his contract.

Pressing intensity will define the contest. Lancy will seek to win the ball high up the pitch and suffocate Terre Sainte's build-up, while the visitors will aim to play through the pressure and exploit the spaces it leaves behind. But the key difference is understanding the game, in possession and out of possession.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. City are also keen on a young striker to develop behind Erling Haaland and offer a different option and are one of the clubs keen on Eli Junior Kroupi, who Bournemouth say is not for sale.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Friendlies Clubs standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
