Red Bull Salzburg

DWDWLL ⚖

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against LASK Linz in Bundesliga action, Red Bull Salzburg and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Red Bull Salzburg had 66% possession and 21 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. For Red Bull Salzburg, the goals were scored by Moussa Kounfolo Yeo (62') and Karim Konaté (73' Own goal). For their opponents, LASK Linz got 9 shots at goal with 1 on target. Maximilian Entrup (88') was the scorer for LASK Linz.

A sequence of accomplished displays from the Red Bull Salzburg defensive unit has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their last 6 fixtures combined. During the same time, their own attack force has managed to score 6. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward here, however.

📰 Team News: Bayer Leverkusen

We are thinking that Leverkusen should use a 3-4-2-1 system for this one and select Matej Kovar, Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah, Piero Hincapie, Jeremie Frimpong, Alejandro Grimaldo, Granit Xhaka, Robert Andrich, Exequiel Palacios, Florian Wirtz and Patrik Schick.

📰 Team News: Red Bull Salzburg

Red Bull Salzburg boss Pepijn Lijnders has to currently contend with reduced team options. Janis Blaswich (Calf injury), Leandro Morgalla (Hamstring injury), Takumu Kawamura (Knee medial ligament tear), Bryan Okoh (Hamstring injury), Fernando (Hamstring injury) and Maurits Kjaergaard (Ankle injury) are not able to play.

There’s a good chance that Die Bullen seem most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Alexander Schlager, Amar Dedic, Kamil Piatkowski, Samson Baidoo, Aleksa Terzic, Bobby Clark, Lucas Gourna-Douath, Mamady Diambou, Moussa Kounfolo Yeo, Karim Konate and Oscar Gloukh.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Bayer Leverkusen are likely to be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

However, Red Bull Salzburg will be up against it to score but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once here.

We’re therefore anticipating a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Bayer Leverkusen at full-time.
