Salzburg take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund at “Red Bull Arena” in the second-leg tackle of the 1/8 final stage of the UEFA Europa League. The game will be played in Salzburg on Thursday, March 15th.
Salzburg have no decent opponents in Austria as the side demonstrates the strongest football in the country which allows them to appear in the Eurocups each season. “Die Roten Bullen” settled on the first place in Group I of the UEFA Europa League, having got 12 points in six battles played against Marseille, Konyaspor and Guimaraes. The team’s offense didn’t impress as it has scored only seven goals unlike its defense which showed outstanding performance resulted in one single goal conceded. In the latest encounters conducted at the home turf Salzburg have beaten Rapid Vienna 1:0, simply destroyed A. Klagenfurt 7:0 and broke real Sociedad 2:1.

In their turn, Borussia Dortmund are very unsustainable in this season: sometimes the side demonstrates solid football, but in general it has problems. “Die Schwarzgelben” failed the UEFA Champions League, having stayed on the third position in Group H which they had shared with Real Madrid, Tottenham and APOEL. The team looked poor in attack, having scored only seven goals, however, its defense was a complete disaster with 13 goals conceded. In the previous away fights Borussia Dortmund deserved two draws against RB Leipzig and Atalanta with the same 1:1 scoreline together with 1:0 triumph over Borussia Monchengladbach.
Salzburg celebrated 2:1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the first-leg battle. And even tough “Die Roten Bullen” have an advantage, “Die Schwarzgelben” are not likely to leave any chances to their opponent and will promote further.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win.
