Rapid Wien vs Chelsea

Chelsea has launched its preseason preparation with the visit of Rapid Wien this weekend, but the fans of `blue` will have the opportunity to see the new manager Antonio Conte in action for the first time. The derby is on Saturday (July 16). Here is our soccer forecast.
Antonio Conte arrived in London on Tuesday evening and then held his first two workouts at Cobham on Wednesday. The specialist only had a week off, as with Italy reached the 1/4 finals of the European Championships in France. Certainly the Italian will need time to prepare the team for the first game, but he didn`t have available more than five days for that.
With Chelsea`s team for the first time, it is expected to see the Belgian striker Murine Batsuaj. He is unlikely to play the whole match as a part of Euro 2016 and he is not going to be in optimum shape. At the same time, Chelsea continues the battle for the signature of the French national Cante from Leicester while at the same time, the team needs at least one more striker, as Alexandre Pato and Radamel Falcao left Chelsea.
The opponents of Chelsea on Saturday finished on the second place in the Austrian Bundesliga last season with nine points less than the champion Red Bull Salzburg. The interest for the upcoming control is exceptional as all tickets have already been sold.
Rapid Wien has a new manager at the helm in the face of Mike Buskens, who has already made his official debut in a match for the Cup of the country. On July 8, Rapid Wien played with Karabakh Wien and outplayed it with 3:1 in a match of the first round of the tournament. In addition, Rapid has had 4 wins in the controls so far as one of them was over Rubin Kazan.
The hosts will look for their sixth consecutive victory before the start of the season and will be hoping to create a surprise against Chelsea. Considering the full grandstands and the opponents, we expect the players of Rapid to make a strong match. Rapid is in a very advanced stage of preparation, and we think they are not going to lose the match.
