Prediction: 2-1
RB Leipzig
All eyes will be on Red Bull Arena when Salzburg and Leipzig face each other in Group B derby. The Austrian Red Bulls have been impressive in all competitions this season and Israeli attacker Dabour looks unstoppable at the moment. The Austrians have already booked their place in the last 32 of the Europa League, but they surely want to keep their 100% record in Group B intact. The Austrian Red Bulls are a real force to be reckoned with at home and seeing that Leipzig failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Wolfsburg at the weekend, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. The German Red Bulls, on the other hand, have yet to qualify for the knockout stages, but they should not be looking for points in the match against Salzburg away from home.
Highlighted Player (Moanes Dabour):
Born in Nazareth on May 14, 1992, Moanes Dabour is an Israel international who plays for Red Bull Salzburg in Austrian Bundesliga. Dabour played in Israeli clubs Maccabi Nazareth and Maccabi Tel Aviv during his youth career and it has to be noted that he played for the two teams at senior level as well. In 2014 he joined Swiss side Grasshopper and after scoring 41 goals in 82 appearances in the league for the club, he moved to Austria, signing a deal with big-spending Red Bull Salzburg. In 2017 Moanes Dabour was scoring goals for fun in the 2018/2019 Champions League qualifiers, but that eventually did not help the Red Bulls book their place in the group stages of the elite competition. Speaking of his international career, Moanes Dabour made his Israel debut against Honduras on June 1 2014. Israel won the game 4-2, but the Salzburg attacker failed to mark his debut with a goal. Dabour opened his goal-scoring account with the Israeli national team in September, 2015 in a 4-0 win over Andorra.
