Red Bull Salzburg take on the visitors Chelsea in the round 5 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 25th at Red Bull Arena (Salzburg).
Red Bull Salzburg are now trying to consolidate domestic success with international. The Bulls have dominated Austrian football for the last decade and a half. Moreover, since 2014, local "gold" has not been given to anyone else. But, of course, these constant successes turn into a routine. They would like to prove themselves in the international arena, primarily in the Champions League. Last season, they managed to get out of the group and even start the playoffs with a draw with Bayern - however, with a crushing defeat in the second leg. Now the results are rather contradictory. On the one hand, there are no defeats in the group. On the other hand, they only won at home against Dinamo Zagreb. All other meetings ended strictly in a draw 1-1.

Chelsea benefits from manager change. The Blues with Thomas Tuchel became the winners of the Champions League. But in this season, the German was unable to improve the team's game and quarreled with investors from the United States. And it was precisely the defeat in Zagreb, in the 1st round, that became the reason for dismissal. Graham Potter, who replaced him, made his debut just in the European Cup, and not particularly well, with a draw against just Red Bull. But then there was a pause associated with the meetings of the national teams, and her new mentor was able to use it very well. First, the best team in Italy last season was defeated at home - the final result was 3-0. Then, at the “San Siro”, the “blues” limited themselves to 2-0. This greatly improved their positions, but they need to get a good result in Salzburg.
Before the fight in September, there was only 1, a friendly match, in the summer of 2019. Then Red Bull (Salzburg) could not really oppose Chelsea. The Blues won 5-3 in this friendly match. The Austrians are an unpleasant opponent at home, but the British also improved noticeably in October. We recommend betting on win of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win.
