Pre-Season Friendly: Red Bull Salzburg V Chelsea. Match Preview

Chelsea play their pre-season friendly in midweek with a trip to Austria to face Red Bull Salzburg. The Blues have been in a good shape this summer and will be looking to keep their winning run on Wednesday night. Frank Lampard is expected to name a similar squad to the one against Reading. N’Golo Kante returned to training this week as he continues his rehabilitation from a knee injury but it remains to be seen whether he will be available to start against RB Salzburg. Chelsea have never faced RB Salzburg in a competitive fixture. The Blues were in Austria for a pre-season friendly against Rapid Vienna three years ago, however, going down 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium. For this game, VBet.com suggests the following odds: RB Salzburg’s possible win – 2.19, Draw-3.85, Chelsea’s possible win – 1.88.
