Real Madrid vs Salzburg Predictions


Salzburg have failed to score a goal in five of their last six games in the Champions League. It very much looks to be a win to nil for the hosts.

Stats 


  • Real Madrid have won 3 of their last 4 home matches (Champions League). 
  • Real Madrid have won 9 of their last 10 home matches (La Liga). 
  • Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe has scored 4 goals in his last 3 matches. 
  • Salzburg have lost to nil in 5 of their last 6 matches (Champions League). 

Head to Head 


This is going to be the second head to head match between these two sides. 

Real Madrid claimed a 1-0 victory in a friendly match in August 2019. 

Form 


Real Madrid suffered a devastating 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup finals in mid-January, but quickly returned to winning ways with a 5-2 extra-time win over Real Betis in the Spanish Cup. 

Los Blancos also claimed a 4-1 home victory against Las Palmas last weekend in La Liga, Kylian Mbappe scoring a brace, Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo also on target. 

As for their UEFA Champions League campaign, Carlo Ancelotti’s side has collected just nine points in six rounds (three wins, three defeats). Their most recent appearance was in Bergamo on 10th December, beating Atalanta 3-2. 

Salzburg’s chances of reaching the UCL playoffs are minimal after claiming just three points from six contests (one win, five defeats). 

They suffered two convincing losses in their last two appearances to Bayer Leverkusen 5-0 and Paris SG 3-0. 

The Bulls are also having a disastrous campaign in Austria, currently occupying 5th place in Bundesliga with 26 points from 15 games.  

Team News 


Carlo Ancelotti can’t count on Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni who are injured. 

One of Salzburg’s key midfielders Maurits Kjaergaard is recovering from an ankle injury. Striker Karim Konate is also injured. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Real Madrid: Courtois, Mendy, Asencio, Rudiger, Valverde, Bellingham, Ceballos, Modric, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Mbappe 

Salzburg: Blaswich, Terzic, Dedic, Baidoo, Capaldo, Douath, Bidstrup, Diakite, Gloukh, Yeo, Ratkov 

Verdict

Salzburg scored in just one of their six UCL games this season. Real Madrid are in a desperate need of three points and I will back them to win on Wednesday with a clean sheet.

Kylian Mbappe has picked up great form recently, bagging four goals in his last three appearances, making him a likely candidate to find the net against the Austrian champions.
