Salzburg vs Dyn. Kyiv Prediction & Betting Tips (27 August)

Since its acquisition by the Red Bull brand in 2005, Red Bull Salzburg has won no less than 14 titles on the national scene. Figures to which Red Bull players are accustomed, focusing on the Champions League for years. The team attached to RasenBallsport Leipzig did not win last year, trailing Sturm Graz by 2 points at the end of the season. It therefore began its campaign in the 3rd round with a clash against the Dutch team Twente FC, against whom RBS won 2 goals to 1 in the first leg, before this draw prediction synonymous with qualification in the Netherlands 3 -3. Leader in the Austrian championship, with 9 points out of 9 possible, Red Bull Salzburg made the difference against LASK 0-1 direct competitor for the title in Austria and beat Dynamo kyiv with a score of 2 goals to 0 away to Poland , neutral ground. The course of Dynamo kyiv - in great danger after its defeat in the first leg - must be highlighted.

 In the Champions League qualifiers, it was so far flawless in these preliminary rounds although Dynamo did not benefit from any preferential treatment. A perfectly negotiated 2nd round against Partizan with two big victories 6-2/0-3, before this qualification against Glasgow Rangers with a victory at Ibox Park in the return 1-1/0-2 well helped by the expulsion of left winger Jefté at 50 minutes of play. However, coming back to the first leg against Salzburg, the ingredients were not the right ones. An obvious lack of combativeness, too much defensive generosity, into which the RBS attackers were engulfed, notably in the 29' min through Dorgeles 1-0 and by causing a penalty in the 51' min 2-0. 

Naby Keita, Dayot Upamecano, Marcel Sabitzer, Naby Keita, H.Haaland, D.Szoboszlai etc, the common point between all these boys is this: they started at Red Bull Salzburg. Problem however, this team cannot keep its best elements, this was again the case this season with the departure of Serbian international defender Pavlovic (AC Milan) and Luka Susic (Real Sociedad). Otherwise, Red Bull obtained the reinforcement of goalkeeper Blaswich from big brother, RB Leipzig. Ivory Coast striker Konaté impressed by scoring 20 goals in the Austrian Bundesliga last season. However, he will be absent from the trip this evening. Also, defenders Morgalla and Guindo, midfielders Kawamura and Kameri, and striker Fernando (all players with 0 games this season) will not play as well. The young nugget H.Blank (important central) did not play the return match in Twente and will be out again this evening. Many injuries at the end, but excellent performances still there.

  Shepeliev (2 goals last year) is out but defender Tymchyk (also 2 goals) entered a little after half-time, probably not yet fully recovered from his injury. The starting center Diachyk should also not play due to a shoulder injury like in the first leg. Expected absence of replacement striker Ponomarenko. Selected 7 times by the Ukrainian international team, Vanat occupies the forefront of this attack and is a name to remember for future years. However, too discreet in the first leg, he was quickly replaced by Nazar Voloshyn (7 goals and 6 assists last year in the league). In this offensive 4-3-3, we also find veteran and captain A.Yarmolenko. At 34 years old, he still plays a valuable role in the group. 12 goals in 5 games (3 per game on average) the attack remains the big strong point of this team. A quick update on the transfer window to highlight the departure of the Luxembourg international who passed through Troyes, Gerson Rodrigues (loan), and the arrivals from SK-Dnipro of Pikhalyonok and Rubchynskiyi.
