Salzburg vs Chelsea Match preview
Hello and welcome to the Red Bull Arena, where Chelsea are taking on RB Salzburg in a pre-season friendly.
Frank Lampard will be hoping the Blues can continue their fine-tuning for the start of the Premier League season, with the opener against Manchester United less than two weeks away.
As the reigning champions of Austria, and with their campaign already underway, RB Salzburg should provide stern competition for Chelsea.
The Red Bulls have finished top of the Austrian Bundesliga in 10 of the last 13 seasons and were convincing champions last time out, finishing nine points clear of LASK Linz.
Exactly two months after their previous campaign finished, Salzburg got their 2019-2020 campaign up and running with a 2-0 win over Rapid Vienna last Friday thanks to goals from Takumi Minamino and Masaya Okugawa.
The Blues beat Reading in their last friendly, with goals coming from Ross Barkley, Kenedy and a Mason Mount double, but the defence was put to the test in a 4-3 victory.
Chelsea could have midfielder N'Golo Kante back, after he returned to training recently following a knee problem that saw him leave the pre-season tour early, but Frank Lampard may decide not to risk him at this stage.
