Red Bull Salzburg will face a challenging match on Wednesday in their upcoming Champions League clash against Feyenoord.
Feyenoord enters the game in strong form, having recently defeated AZ 3-2 in the Eredivisie. In that match, Feyenoord controlled 63% of the possession and took 16 shots, with Luka Ivanušec scoring in the 63rd minute and Ibrahim Osman adding another in the 82nd. AZ responded with goals from Troy Parrott and Mexx Meerdink, plus an own goal by David Møller Wolfe. Despite their recent success, Feyenoord has struggled to keep a clean sheet, allowing goals in five of their last six matches, totaling seven goals conceded.
Red Bull Salzburg, meanwhile, played to a 0-0 draw against Grazer AK in their previous Bundesliga match. Despite dominating possession with 69% and creating multiple opportunities, Salzburg couldn’t find the net, while Grazer AK managed five shots on target from their 13 attempts. Recently, Salzburg’s games have often seen one side failing to score, a trend that has occurred in five of their last six games, with Salzburg scoring five goals and conceding eight over that span.
Prediction
In this matchup, Feyenoord is expected to control possession and create good chances, while Salzburg may struggle to break through but could still manage a goal. The prediction leans towards a 3-1 victory for Feyenoord, with experts favoring a total of under 3.5 goals for the match.
