RB Salzburg vs Real Madrid Prediction and Betting Tip - Odds, H2H and Preview Predictions

RB Salzburg vs Real Madrid Prediction:

The match for all the marbles in Group H. Should the Austrian side secure an upset, it would see them progressing as group winners, leaving Madrid’s life in the competition hanging on the result of Al-Hilal and Pachuca.

Both sides have similar records, having drawn with Al-Hilal and beating Pachuca. Real Madrid only needs a draw to secure the likely first place while Salzburg will need all three to secure their spot in the knockout rounds.

As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about both sides ahead of kick-off.

RB Salzburg Preview, Form and Standout Players

RB Salzburg Predicted Lineup (4-2-2-2): Zawieschitzky; Krätzig, Rasmussen, Gadou, Lainer; Diabate, Bidstrup; Gloukh, Dorgeles; Onisiwo, Baidoo.

Thomas Letsch will be without Karim Konate and Nicolas Capaldo for their final group game.

Salzburg will be pleased with their performance to this point. Their 0-0 draw with Saudi side Al-Hilal followed their opening match win against Pachuca.

Oscar Gloukh and Karim Onisiwo came up with the goods in their opener. You have a good feeling the Austrians will need multiple players to step up and play the game of their lives to topple Xabi Alonso’s side. However, we have learned upsets are not impossible, with Benfica being the recent example against Bayern – Botafogo defeating Champions League winners PSG certainly comes close too.

Real Madrid Preview, Form and Standout Players

Real Madrid Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Courtois; F. Garcia, Huijsen, Rüdiger, Alexander-Arnold; Bellingham, Tchouameni, Güler; Vinícius Jr., G. García, Valverde.

With star man Kylian Mbappe in hospital, Gonzalo Garcia will have to step up in his absence. Raúl Asencio also misses out after receiving a red card against Pachuca.

It is a new-look side with a new manager and two new players, but Madrid will be disappointed by dropping two points to Al-Hilal. The longer Madrid takes to wake up, the more Salzburg will believe and that penalty miss in their opener by Valverde could prove costly.

Trent has not lived up to expectations so far, and a statement game from him on Friday will be appreciated by Los Blancos.

Head-to-head Comparison

These sides have surprisingly met just once in a competitive fixture, during the most recent league phase of the Champions League, with Los Blancos winning 5-1. They have also met in a friendly, where Madrid also won, so this will be their third meeting in history.

Betting Tip for RB Salzburg vs Real Madrid

If there is one thing Salzburg have coming into this match, it is belief. The longer they can hold Los Blancos, the more likely they might be to create an opportunity; but any chance the Austrians do make, they will have to take advantage.

Therefore, our team of betting professionals have gone for Both Team to Score as the best value tip for this match. Odds on HighBet of 1.29 will mean a stake of £10 has a potential return of £12.90.
