Chelsea vs Salzburg Prediction: Graham Potter needs time

Chelsea will take on Salzburg in the Champions League group stage on September 14 at 22:00 (UTC+3) at Stamford Bridge. Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Chelsea

Chelsea does not live up to the expectations of the fans in the new season. Seven games into the campaign, the Londoners have registered only three wins, with one draw and three defeats. The last straw for the club management was the 0-1 defeat at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb in the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage last week. Since then, Thomas Tuchel has been sacked as Chelsea manager, replaced by Graham Potter, formerly at Brighton.

Salzburg

Salzburg, in turn, got off to a very good start this season. In 11 games, the Austrian club scored nine wins, drew once and lost once. The defeat came last week when Matthias Jaissle' team took on AC Milan in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The Austrian champions avoided losing to the Italian champion in a 1-1 draw.

Expert Betting Tips

Of course, it will be very interesting to see what Chelsea will show us under Graham Potter. But, understandably, he needs time, and the upcoming international break is perfect. Meanwhile, we should not expect major changes in the upcoming meeting with Salzburg. The Austrian club last season, as well as this one, has already managed to prove that they can achieve results with the opponents, who are much more high-profile than they are. The Londoners are having problems now, so we will not be surprised if the visitors score here as well. But as the main bet we suggest taking an exchange of goals.

Prediction: Both teams will score.
