Red Bull Salzburg hosts Brondby in the first leg of the Champions League qualification final. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 17th at Red Bull Arena (Salzburg)
Red Bull Salzburg are just a cut above all other teams from their native Austria. Of the 15 champion’s titles, twelve have been won in the segment since 2007. And since 2014, no one else has won gold medals. Beyond that, the Bulls have played in the group stage of the Champions League twice in a row. And the club invariably occupied the third place in its quartet. In the current season, the project was entrusted to 33-year-old German Jaissle. Top score Petson Daka and halfback Mwepu were sold. There are enough newcomers, but how good are they? The Red Bulls showed a perfect start to the championship and even hammered Ried with a 7-1 score. But how will it be in the Champions League?

Brondby was one of the best teams in Denmark from the mid-80s to the beginning of the 21st century. During these three decades, the Boys from Westegnen won the national championship ten times. And then there was a long pause. No, the club did not go down below third or fourth places and regularly played in the qualification of European Cups. But following the results of the last draw Brondby managed to become the champion of the country again (Midtjylland was outranked due to a better goal difference). And a lot of leaders have gone. Lindström (10 + 10 in the previous season) was sold to Eintracht Frankfurt for some good money, while the contracts of Jung, Schwabe, and Christensen simply expired.
The clubs did not play against each other. But there is a connection: Jaissle, the current coach of Salzburg, was in the coaching staff of Alexander Zornier just in Brøndby in 2017-2019! It's too early to say anything before the match, but it seems that Red Bull Salzburg was lucky with the draw. Everything needs to be decided already in Austria, so we bet on the victory of the hosts with a -1.5 goals handicap.
Prediction for the match: Salzburg to win with -1.5 handicap
