Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Genk
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-3
Salzburg
Wednesday’s football game at Luminus Arena pits together Genk and Salzburg. The Red Bulls still have slim chances of making it to the Champions League last 16, while Genk want to keep their hopes of booking their place in the Europa League knockout stages alive. When the two teams met at Red Bull Arena earlier in the process, Salzburg crushed Genk 6-2, and it is no surprise the Austrian champions are seen as favourites to pick up all three points from the Luminus Arena clash.
A man to watch in the away team will be Norwegian rising star Erling Haland, who has netted 15 goals in 12 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga so far this term. Since the hosts face a must-win situation in Wednesday’s game, we predict that the visitors will have a number of opportunities to score on the break and put the game to bed.
