Chelsea vs Red Bull Salzburg – Betting Analysis

The selection situation doesn’t get any better, as the Chelsea manager Graham Potter only has to deal with one fitness issue out of a group of players who are otherwise fully prepared. N’Golo Kanté (muscular issues) will not participate.

Matthias Jaissle’s schedule is tight. Maximilian Wöber (groyne strain), Sekou Koita (ankle issues), Sekou Sucic (groyne strain), Oumar Solet (hamstring injury), Ousmane Diakité (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Mamady Diambou (ankle issues), Bryan Okoh (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Samson Tijani (Tibia and Fibula Fracture)

Red Bull Salzburg, in our opinion, has what it takes to defeat Chelsea, even though it might not quite stop them from giving up a few goals down the other end. We anticipate a competitive game, with Chelsea leading 2-1 after 90 minutes. See what transpires in this case.
