On August 17, Brondby and Salzburg played their first match in Austria. The Red Bulls won 2-1. In the 4th minute, the scoring was opened by the Danish forward Mikael Uhre. Brøndby delivered only one shot on target, and it turned into a goal. It took the Red Bulls 52 minutes to win back. In the 56th minute, Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi was the first to follow up and made the score 1-1. In the 90th minute, the midfielder Brenden Aaronson brought the victory to the Austrian team. Aaronson took advantage of the pass of Oumar Solet and skillfully sent the ball into the far corner. Salzburg had a significant playing advantage throughout the match.

The previous season was successful for Brøndby. The Boys from Vestegnen became Danish champions for the first time since the 2004/05 season and got the right to qualify for the Champions League. This season Brøndby is experiencing serious problems in the local championship. The team has scored only four points in six games and took a place in the relegation zone. Brøndby have not gained a single victory in the Danish Super League yet (two draws and four defeats). Moreover, Niels Frederiksen's team conceded 11 goals in six matches, and this is the worst defensive performance in the Danish championship.
Red Bull Salzburg showed complete dominance in the first leg. Goalkeeper Mads Hermansen saved Brøndby from a thumping by making eight saves. The Red Bulls delivered 29 shots on goal but scored only two times. Brøndby started the new season unsuccessfully. The Danish team is suffering from the coronavirus (five players are in quarantine). Personnel losses negatively affect the performance of the team. The reigning Danish champion is in the relegation zone and has not won a single match this season. Brondby scored two points in three home games with a goal difference of 3-5. I think the Austrians will easily win their second match in Denmark and advance to the group stage of the Champions League.
Prediction for the match: Salzburg to win with -1.0 handicap
