RB Salzburg vs Lille Match Analysis and Prediction

UEFA Champions League group stage continues this week with Red Bull Salzburg hosting Lille in Group G at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night with kickoff at 22:00.

Both sides head into the match off the back of draws in their opening Champions League fixtures with Salzburg beginning their campaign with a chaotic 1-1 away draw against Sevilla. Salzburg will feel they should have won the match having been awarded three first half penalties, two of which were missed. The hosts were awarded a penalty of their own which they converted to level the scores. Salzburg also failed to capitalize on the 10-men Sevilla side in the second half and were forced to settle for the draw.

However, Salzburg have continued they dominance in the domestic football opening the season remarkably as they have won all of their nine opening matches and sit at the top of the league with seven points adrift of the second placed SK Strurm Graz. They come into the Wednesday’s clash in a brilliant form as they have not lost in their last 17 games across all competitions with a three-match winning streak. They also have a brilliant home form having not lost in their last nine home matches win an eight-match winning streak.

Therefore, the Red Bulls will now be looking to continue the form and pick up their first Champions League win in this fixture as they to aim to advance to the knockout stages for the first time.

Meanwhile Lille drew 0-0 with Wolfsburg in their opening match and they too would feel they should have won the match as they were in control for the most of the game but wasted a number of decent scoring chances.

Lille have made a rather inconsistent start to their domestic campaign having only won only three of their opening eight matches and currently occupy the ninth spot with 11 points 13 points behind league leaders PSG. However, they come into the match off the back of back-to-back wins over Reims and Strasbourg and are in a slightly above average form having lost two of their last six matches across all competitions.

Therefore, Lille will be heading into the match looking to maintain their current form as they hope for better luck on the European Stage.

Salzburg vs Lille head to head

Both sides have never faced each other in the European competition before, but the hosts have won four of their last eight meetings with French sides and will be fascinating to see how this will play out.
