FC Red Bull Salzburg welcome the visitors RB Leipzig in the Europa League Group Stage – Round 5. The match will be held on Thursday, November 29th at Red Bull Arena (Salzburg).
Salzburg confidently lead in the present EL Group B standings. The Austrians have the best possible result now – 12 points of 12. The team are really ideal these days, but the opponent they expect are one of topflight clubs. The hosts have already won over Leipzig, but that was yet in the first round. The Austrians managed to pull off the victory on the 89th minute; Gulbrandsen scored the winning goal in that encounter. Still, we believe we cannot expect an open game from the home side on Thursday – it’s no good to rush forward forgetting about the defense, as the opponent are dangerous in their counterattacks. 1 point can guarantee Salzburg’s progression, so we may not see any special pressure from the hosts.

As for Leipzig, they are currently second in their group, counting 6 points after 4 rounds (Сeltiс count same, by the way); so the guests are in urgent need of a win in this encounter – in our view, they will concentrate on the result rather than on the show. In the last round, Leipzig lost to Celtic in Scotland; this defeat added much to the confusion in the Group B standings. Now the Germans are to face Zaltsburg, and the Scots, most likely, are to win in Norway, so the guests have no option but to get points. Rangnick’s team are great in defense lately – in 5 last matches they missed only thrice.
The coming game will surely be very tense, as the result is crucial for both teams. We believe we will observe strategic football with no abundance of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals.
