Salzburg :
On Thursday, the series champion from Austria has the great opportunity to move into the round of the last 16 teams in the Europa League. Last week, they got a brilliant starting position with a 2: 2 win at Real Sociedad. After guiding through an Oyarzabal own goal, La Real was able to turn the game first and took the lead 2-1. But the Japanese Minamino scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time the much acclaimed equalizer for the team of coach Marco Rose. So they are unbeaten since 16 European Cup games.
In the group stage they won the group I sovereign. With three wins and three draws they were ultimately four points ahead of Olympique Marseille in the first place in the table. They just conceded a goal in the six group matches. Seven of their points they brought in the home stadium.

The dress rehearsal for the game on Thursday they mastered brilliantly. St. Pölten was shot 4-0 out of the Red Bull Arena. They have been unbeaten in all competitions for 26 competitive matches. The last defeat they suffered in August of last year at 0: 1 in Graz. Best scorer in the group matches of the Europa League was the Israeli Munas Dabbur with three goals.
Real Sociedad:
Over the first leg, the Basques will probably have angered even more. After falling behind by an own goal, they were still able to turn the game in their favor and looked like the winners right into stoppage time. Then she still had to accept the compensation, which has rather deteriorated the starting position for the second leg. While the Austrians have already scored 0-0 or 1-1 to progress, the Spaniards must win or draw higher to reach the next round. And that, where they do not know how to convince in the away games. In the last five games on opposing place they could just get a single point. This was achieved in scoreless 0: 0 in Bilbao. The home game on Sunday in the Spanish league was won 3: 0 against UD Levante sovereign. In the group stage of the Europa League, the team of coach Eusebio Sacristan took second place behind Zenit St. Petersburg with twelve points. Only the two games against the group winners were lost each with 1: 3. The other games could be won. Best goal scorer on the side of the North Spaniard is the Brazilian Willian Jose Da Silva, who has already scored five goals. He is currently suffering from a midfoot bruise and will not be able to play on Thursday.
