Match Today: Chelsea vs Red Bull Salzburg 14-09-2022 UEFA Champions League

Chelsea will host Red Bull Salzburg Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday and the Blues will be looking for their first win in the European Championship.

Chelsea lost 1-0 at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb in the opening game of the group and the team will try hard to come back strong when they face hosts Red Bull Salzburg Salzburg at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

New manager Graham Potter will coach the West London side for the first time since replacing Thomas Tuchel last week and it will be interesting to see if he can pull off an all-out victory against the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge.

Red Bull Salzburg Salzburg has not defeated any English club in European competition, Chelsea lost to Dinamo Zagreb in the opening match of the Champions League but did not lose their first two matches in European competition. Chelsea have not lost in 19 of their last 20 home matches in the Champions League.

Red Bull Salzburg Salzburg have lost their last three Champions League away games. Chelsea have lost only one of their last four matches against Austrian teams in European competitions.

Tuchel was fired earlier this month after a string of poor performances and Potter is expected to send Chelsea off again. A narrow defeat to Dinamo Zagreb will hurt the Premier League giants and they will look to respond in a positive way.

Meanwhile Red Bull Salzburg Salzburg are in this match after their 1-1 draw with AC Milan, and they will anticipate their chances of getting something out of the competition tomorrow as the visitors are undefeated in the last six matches in all competitions.

The Austrian team is well aware of the fact that Chelsea have been weak this season and the visitors will be looking to capitalize on their inconsistencies. Chelsea have lost three of their last five matches in all competitions.
