Salzburg vs Chelsea: prediction for the Champions League fixture
It will be either RB Salzburg or Chelsea who will make it to the playoffs. Who will win on October 25? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Salzburg
AustriaRB Salzburg have a real chance of making it into the last 16. They got quite a difficult group with Chelsea and AC Milan being the favourites to qualify for the playoffs, but the Bulls delivered great results in the first four group games. Salzburg are unbeaten with three draws and one victory over Dinamo Zagreb (1:0). With 5 points to their name, RB Salzburg are in 2nd place in Group E.
The Bulls dominate the Austrian Bundesliga, but a few days ago they failed do defeat Sturm Garz (0:0), who are trailing them by two points. Fernando, who was the top scorer for RB Salzburg at the start of the season, is sidelined through an injury, and he is not the only injury concern for the Austrian side.
Chelsea
EnglandChelsea had a slow start to their European campaign, but now they are the leader in Group E. After a narrow defeat to Dinamo Zagreb (0:1) and a home draw against RB Salzburg (1:1), the Blues got two clean-sheet victories over AC Milan (3:0, 2:0). The Londoners have earned seven points from four games and are looking to secure qualification from the top line.
In the English Premier League, Chelsea are currently 5th on the log. In the last two games, they drew against Manchester United (1:1) and Brentford (0:0). The Blues haven't yet lost at Stanford Bridge this season. Today, the English team will be without Fofana, Kante, James, and Koulibaly.

Tip and bets
We expect both sides to deliver goals in the upcoming game. The Austrian side has a chance of qualifying for the playoffs, so they will go all out on offense. They have a very good record at home; the team delivered goals in 34 of 35 previous home games. The visitors will be without several key defenders, who are out injured, but their forwards are fit and hungry for goals.
Our prediction - both to score
Both sides are highly motivated. Chelsea have a better team, but too many of their players are injured. We believe, the home team will be able to get a draw here.
Second bet - score draw
