UEFA Champions League picks for Salzburg vs. Chelsea
Before you tune in to Wednesday's match, you need to see the UEFA Champions League picks from SportsLine's soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated almost $33,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
For Chelsea vs. Salzburg, Green is backing both teams to score for a -130 payout. Chelsea should be well-rested and has had a long week for Potter to implement his managerial style after Premier League games were canceled in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's passing. However, this is a tough matchup against an exciting Salzburg squad with a lot of pace in the attack.
"Salzburg is not particularly impressive in defense, but it should cause problems for Chelsea on the counterattack, so we could be in for an entertaining spectacle on Wednesday," Green told SportsLine. "Potter's reputation has soared over the past year, as he turned Brighton into one of the most exciting teams in the Premier League. However, he will be under a lot more pressure to deliver success at Chelsea, and he will be desperate to make a winning start to his tenure against Salzburg."
