SALISBURG – CHELSEA | Tuesday 6.45pm
Despite the start with defeat, which also cost Tuchel his bench, with two days to go in the Champions League group Chelsea are first in the standings and masters their own destiny. A destiny that could mean the round of 16 already in the next match against Salzburg. In the event of a victory, the team coached by Potter would gain a pass to the knockout rounds. And at this moment in time, the Blues seem to have the qualities to be able to close the deal. A challenge which Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan will also be watching with great interest, hoping for a win on home soil in order to go all out in the last round clash against Salzburg in Milan.
Well, looking at the momentum of the two teams that will take the field, it is clear that both are well in all aspects and that they intend to win this match. Even Chelsea, since Potter has sat on the bench, have never lost, putting them back on their feet not only in the European standings but also in the Premier League. The different qualities are there for all to see, and the fact that the Blues have the first match point to close out the qualification discourse, puts the English troop ahead.
Salzburg’s Okafor
The Prediction
A match that should give at least one goal per team and, consequently, at least three goals overall. In the end, Potter’s Chelsea should come out on top and thus close the qualification race with a day to spare.
