Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Salzburg
Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make amends for a heavy 4-0 loss to Bayern Munchen when they host Salzburg at their Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday evening. Los Rojiblancos are eager to record their first win of the process, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Red Bulls. Diego Costa remains in the recovery room, but Joao Felix and Luis Suarez are likely to make life difficult for the opposition defenders.
The Austrian champions, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Lokomotiv Moscow. Considering that Salzburg are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that Diego Simeone’s men are going to pick up all three points from the match. The likes of Bernede and Diarra are both likely to miss the game through injury for the visiting team. This will be their first meeting in European competitions.
Highlighted Player (Luis Suarez):
Luis Suarez is a controversial footballer who plays for La Liga side Barcelona as a striker. The Uruguayan forward moved to Europe in 2006, signing a deal with Groningen. After scoring 10 goals in 27 league appearances for the club in the 2006/2007 Eredivisie campaign, he joined Ajax at the end of the season. The prolific striker scored no less than 81 goals in 110 appearances for Ajax and, as a result, Liverpool chiefs decided to sign him on 31 January 2011.
Suarez became the club’s most expensive signing and he was producing thrilling performances with the Anfield outfit between 2011 and 2014. Liverpool were on the verge of winning the 2013/2014 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and they eventually finished the season in second place in the standings.
In 2014 Suarez joined Barcelona and he was the top scorer in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign. He won the 2013/2014 Premier League Golden Boot as well and in 2011 he clinched the Copa America trophy with Uruguay.
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).
