RB Salzburg vs Chelsea prediction and odds: Graham Potter's side tipped to secure Champions League Round of 16 place

Chelsea will be looking to secure a place in the next Champions League stage with a win at RB Salzburg as they travel to Austria with an impressive unbeaten run under new head coach Graham Potter. They were left frustrated after dropping two points in injury time at Stamford against Manchester United in their Premier League match last weekend despite taking the lead just minutes before

The Blues are the favourites at 8/11 with Betfred to win and pick up their sixth victory under Graham Potter while hosts Salzburg are 7/2 and a draw is 13/5. The visitors have never picked up a win in Austria in their previous two attempts in the club's history but the hosts are also winless at home against English team in European competitions.

Hosts Salzburg have been impressive so far this season and lead in the Austrian Bundesliga by two points plus have been impressive in Group E with a four-match unbeaten run.
