Match preview
Chelsea hopes to end their Champions League campaign woes with their first victory when they host Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday.
In their group’s first match, Chelsea lost 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb which makes them desperate to bounce back when they welcome Red Bull Salzburg.
New manager Graham Potter who replaced Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, will be on the touchline for the first time in front of Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge and will hope to kick off his reign with a victory.
Meanwhile, Red Bull Salzburg are coming into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against AC Milan, and they will fancy their chances of getting something out of the contest tomorrow. The visitors are unbeaten in the last six matches across all competitions.
The Austrian outfit are well aware of the fact that Chelsea have been vulnerable this season, and the visitors will look to take advantage of their inconsistencies. Chelsea have lost three of the last five matches across all competitions. Chelsea and Red Bull Salzburg faced each other back in a friendly in 2019 with Chelsea picking up a thrilling 5-3 win.
