RB Leipzig vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since the two teams are similar in their actions. Because of this and knowing that they are vertical midfield forward, we believe that the bet “both teams score” is interesting to bet. He paints to be an open duel and with spaces from the initial stage, being possible that the goals fall for elaborate plays or errors caused by the rival pressure.
Leipzig:
The German side comes from playing against Hannover at home last Saturday (3-2 win after winning 2-1 in the first half). Previously he had added 2 matches without winning in the Bundesliga, after losing 4-1 to Borussia Dortmund and equaling 1-1 against newly promoted Fortuna Düsseldorf. Now the objective of the team is to make a good group stage in the Europa League, after having played a lot of previous phases to reach this instance. His goal is to shoot unusual players in the domestic tournament, but also employing several starters in the initial eleven.
As a local at Red Bull Arena, Leipzi has played several games in this season’s start. These were the following: Victory 4-0 against Hacken of Sweden, triumph 3-1 against U Craiova 1948 CS of Romania, victory 3-2 against Zorya of Ukraine, 1-1 draw against Fortuna Düsseldorf and victory 3-2 against Hannover 96. On the date FIFA played a friendly match to catch football, which was positive for their league interests (1-0 victory against the Zaglebie of Poland). For this duel, Rangnick is expected to maintain the 4-4-2 system that he has been using regularly, which allows his boys to be upright and offensive when attacking. Of course, what should improve the team as a whole is its definition facing the rival goal.
Salzburg:
The Austrians come to play against St. Polten to visit last Saturday (triumph 1-3 after equalizing 1-1 the first time). Currently they have 21 points in the general table, standing out for being an explosive eleven in their actions. It is enough to know that they have added 7 consecutive wins in the Bundesliga Tipico to corroborate this statement. In matters of goals, the team has scored many and has yielded few in its fence, standing out for being a vertical one when it proposes to attack (18 goals in favor and 5 against). Now the objective of the squad is to make a good group stage in the Europa League and try to repeat what was done in the last season (elimination adjusted in the semifinals against Olympique Marseille French). Another reason why the holders will give their best in this competition is linked to the painful elimination suffered by the Champions League (2-2 draw against Red Star of Serbia, being left out by the goals of the visit).
As a visitor, Salzburg scored two consecutive victories before facing St. Polten. The first was 0-2 against Mattersburg and the second was 2-3 against Altach. Of course, also played two games in this condition for the preliminary phase of the Champions League (0-1 victory against Shkëndija and 0-0 draw against Red Star). If we analyze the performance of the team acting far from its stadium, we can conclude that it scores goals against offensive teams and that they leave spaces when scoring. When faced with defensive opponents and that do not come out to propose, suffers enough at the time of elaboration.
The only confrontation that both teams have had was a friendly played in January 2015. That duel ended 1-1 in the initial stage and 3-3 after the final whistle.
