Our prediction for this Europa League match:
RB Leipzig
Match Time & Date:
20/09/2018
04:00 pm
Prediction: 2-2
Red Bull Salzburg
Leipzig were more than fortunate to beat Zorya in the Europa League play-off, return leg, with the Bundesliga side scoring the winner in the dying minutes of the match. The Germans, though, did well to book their place in the group stages of the competition and they will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Salzburg at their Red Bull Arena on Thursday evening. The two Red Bulls face each other in the Europa League opener and we believe that both teams will adopt an attack-minded approach in this one. Given the attacking potential of the home team, the Bundesliga team are likely to find the net in Thursday’s football match and seeing that created a number of clear-cut chances to score in a 2-2 draw with Crvena zvezda in the Champions League play-off, return leg, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.
