Salzburg hosts Sevilla in round 6 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 8th at Red Bull Arena (Salzburg)
Salzburg showed great results in three starting rounds of the Champions League group stage, scoring seven points. But then two defeats followed, so now the Bulls have every chance of not getting even into the Europa League playoffs. Yes, a draw may be enough for them to reach the Champions League 1/8 finals. But if Matthias Jaissle’s charges lose and Wolfsburg beats Lille in a parallel match, they risk falling to the 4th line. The best thing for them would be to earn three points in the upcoming game. In the event of victory, Salzburg will not have to worry about who and how will play in a parallel match. Four of five Salzburg’s matches in the group stage of the Champions League ended with an exchange of goals scored. I will add that the team has seven goals scored and six conceded.

Sevilla gained the first victory in the current Champions League group stage only in the last round. The Andalusians were stronger than Wolfsburg on their pitch. Before that, the Spanish team suffered one defeat and gained three draws in a row. At the moment, Julen Lopetegui's charges have six points. This is enough to be in 3rd place in the standing. To advance to the Champions League playoffs, Sevilla only needs to win. In the event of a draw or defeat, the Red-Whites will most likely have the opportunity to play in the Europa League (unless Wolfsburg wins in a side-by-side match). Sevilla played two away matches in the current Champions League, and both of them ended without a winner. However, the unbeaten streak on foreign pitches now amounts to nine matches.
Sevilla managed not to lose to Red Bull Salzburg at home. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. Three previous head-to-head matches of these teams in European competitions ended with Under 2.5 goals scored. Now we should wait for a very interesting game. Both teams are one match away from the Champions League playoffs. Salzburg has an advantage in the form of the home stadium. The team has historically performed successfully here, scoring many goals. The visitors have a huge European Cup experience. Bookmakers do not highlight a clear favorite in the upcoming game. Still, I believe that it is Sevilla that has better chances. The Andalusians can score one goal and just sit back on heels. Anyway, the fans are unlikely to see a goal extravaganza.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
