Chelsea vs RB Salzburg. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Champions League 2022–23 (September 14, 2022).

Chelseacouldn't compete for the Premier League title last season and finished in 3rd place. In the new edition of the Premier League, the Londoners occupy the 6th line with 10 points from six games. They earned seven of those points at Stamford Bridge with two victories and a draw against Tottenham in the North West London derby (2:2). In the last Premier League game, the Blues defeated West Ham (2:1). 

The Blues' poor start in the Champions League was followed by a dramatic sacking of Thomas Tuchel. Graham Potter was hired to replace the former manager after Chelsea lost 0:1 to Dinamo Zagreb.

RB Salzburg are enjoying success in the Austrian Bundesliga. The team won seven out of eight games and chalked up 21 points. In the last round, the Bulls crushed Ried (3:0). In the summer, Salzburg signed forward Fernando, who has already delivered four goals and gave three assists. It was his assist that allowed Noah Okafor to score against AC Milan in the first Champions League game last week.

RB Salzburg have serious issues with their line-up. Such key players as Karim Adeyemi and Brenden Aaronson have left the club, and on top of that, ten players are currently out injured, including four central defenders and all defensive midfielders.
