RB Salzburg v FK Crvena Zvezda Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Wednesday 29^th August 2018 (Kick-off 8 PM)

On Wednesday night, RB Salzburg host Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) in the Champions League play-off round second leg.

The first leg of this tie finished goalless in the capital of Serbia and this contest could be a tight one too. The home side are slight favourites to make it through to the group stages of the competition.

The home side heads into this game on an unbeaten run of seven games in the Champions League, having won four and drawn three on their unbeaten run.

Salzburg’s recent games in Europe’s elite competition have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings. The fact that the home side has kept clean sheets in five of their last six games in this competition was a big factor in those low scoring encounters.
