RB Salzburg Preview
RB Salzburg has had the opportunity to participate in 5 editions of the UEFA Champions League. Despite being a modest team in comparison to several clubs competing in the tournament, the ‘red bulls’ have been the talk of recent UCL contests.
In its home league, Salzburg is at the top of the table, coming into the competition at a high level. For this Salzburg vs AC Milan, the team wants to reaffirm its great present.
The Austrian Bundesliga heralds a good moment for Salzburg, as they are on a 5-match unbeaten streak. These results were due to the good performance of the team coached by German Matthias Jaissle and the emergence of players such as Kameri, Okafur, and Fernando. The Austrian team made it to the round of 16 in their last appearance, so they will be looking for a better place this time.
Possible starting eleven (4-1-2-1-1-2): P. Kohn, A. Dedic, O. Solet, M. Wober, A. Ulmer, N. Seiwald, N. Capaldo, M. Kjærgaard, D. Kameri, Fernando, Okafor.
AC Milan Preview
AC Milan has had a great start to the Serie A season. So far in the league, the Red-blacks have achieved a total of 3 wins and 2 draws. With these results, the Italian team is in second place in its local league. Despite being absent on several recent occasions from the UEFA Champions League, its hierarchy is undisputed.
Milan has won the crown seven times, which is why it is not excluded that they will have an excellent participation in the competition. As the Italians are being heavily favored in their group, they will try to go for the win on the road. They don’t have an easy outlook, but with Giroud and Leao, anything could happen.
Possible starting eleven (4-2-3-1): M. Maignan, D. Calabria, P. Kalulu, F. Tomori, T. Hernandez, S. Tonali, I. Bennacer, J. Messias, C. De Ketelaere, R. Leao, O. Giroud.
JefeBet Prediction
Let’s take into account the results, history, and previous matches: RB Salzburg is coming from an unbeatable present in the Austrian Bundesliga, the current state of their squad and the good technical performance make them an extremely difficult opponent. Despite this, in its recent Champions League appearances the team has not managed to occupy outstanding positions, although it could almost be considered an underdog.
Milan, on the other hand, carries on its shoulders 7 trophies, the experience of players such as Olivier Giroud, and a clear idea of the game, as defined by Stefano Pioli. The two teams have already met in the UCL in the 90s, and on that occasion Milan stole the victory. In this RB Salzburg vs AC Milan, the Italians are likely to repeat history and start off on the right foot, or rather, with the right glove.
Pick: AC Milan wins.
