On the 14th of September, Salzburg and Chelsea will play a match in London in a clash of the Champions League. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which is great football weather. Chelsea is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Dinamo Zagreb. Mislav Oršić struck first for Dinamo Zagreb in the 13th minute on a feed from Bruno Petković, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Chelsea was frustrated by Dinamo Zagreb’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Dinamo Zagreb ended the match with the shutout victory. Chelsea is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Salzburg recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Ried. Sesko scored the first goal for Salzburg in the 5th minute, then Junior Chikwubuike Adamu added another in the 15th minute In the end, Ried couldn’t muster any offence and Salzburg ran away with the shutout win. Salzburg is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Noah Okafor has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored 5 goals for Salzburg. Raheem Sterling has been the most prolific scorer on Chelsea in the last five matches with 3 goals.
