Our prediction for this Champions League match:
After dropping two points in a Ligue 1 clash with Auxerre, PSG will look to return to winning ways when they take on Salzburg in the Champions League round 6. Les Parisiens failed to win the previous three games in all competitions, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Salzburg at Red Bull Arena. Ousmane Dembele misses the match through suspension, while Lucas Hernandez remains on the sidelines with a knee injury. Randal Kolo Muani is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Rapid Wien. Salzburg have been showing signs of improvement of late, but given their poor defensive displays in the Champions League this term, there is a big value in betting on the star-studded Parisiens. In their last meeting in a competitive match Salzburg defeated PSG 2-0, meaning that Luis Enrique’s men are hungry for revenge. The likes of Blaswich, Fernando, Konate, Terzic, and Kjaergaard remain on the sidelines with injuries for the home team.
Highlighted Team (Salzburg):
Salzburg are a professional football club that compete in Austrian Bundesliga. The club’s main sponsors are Red Bull and, as a result, they are well known under the name of the Red Bulls. The club was founded on 13 September, 1933 and they won their first Austrian Bundesliga trophy in 1994.
Salzburg quickly established themselves as the dominant force in the national championship and they are the most successful Austrian club in the 21st century. It has to be noted that they won their tenth Austrian Premier League trophy in 2016, finishing the season nine points clear of second-placed Rapid Wien.
The Red Bulls welcome their rivals at Red Bull Arena, the stadium that was opened on 8 March, 2008. The capacity of the venue is 31 895. Salzburg participated in the 1993/1994 UEFA Cup final, but Italian side proved to be a big catch for the Austrian outfit. Inter recorded a 2-0 win over Salzburg in the final (on aggregate).
