Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Club Brugge will look to seal their spot in the Champions League playoffs when they welcome Salzburg to their Jan Breydel Stadion on Tuesday evening. Club Brugge won the first leg thanks to Romeo Vermant’s goal and they are now on a quest to defend their slim lead in front of home fans. Boss Nicky Hayen is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Red Bulls in Austria.
Meanwhile, the Austrian vice-champions will have a big fish to fry in the return leg. As Salzburg need to adopt an attack-oriented strategy in the second leg, we predict that the Belgians will have a number of chances to score on the break. Therefore, we predict that Thomas Letsch’s charges are going to return home with their hands empty. Summer signing Kerim Alajbegovic is pushing for a start, while experienced forward Karim Onisiwo remains in the recovery room.
