Firecracker of the Europa League! FC Salzburg vs. RB Leipzig

Now the time has come: the second step between ours FC Salzburg and the Saxons of RB Leipzig come! In the sold-out Red Bull Arena, the German Bundesliga club asks the Austrian champion of the series!

Arrival with damper

On paper are the Saxons of RB Leipzig the favourite. But they were already in the first leg. And how it happened, we know all the children of Salzburg. Last day of the championship of Germany, Leipzig had to face a difficult situation. The VfL Wolfsburg has surprisingly won the duel with the East Germans. Leipzig fans have spoken of a lack of precision:

If this gap persists on Thursday, the Salzburgs can probably only be right. However, Leipzig is "damned" to win. The Germans are still in second place in group B, but if Celtic beat Trondheimers, who has not played very well recently (and Salzburg got a draw or even a win against Leipzig), Leipzig will not not so rosy in Europa League,

The "stable duel" between the two clubs is so explosive!

According to media reports, Mr. Rangnick Atinc Nukan (backlog of training), Marcel Sabitzer (muscular injury) and Emil Forsberg (groin problems) are reported to be absent. By the way, Leipzig will not hold its final training in Salzburg, the East Germans prefer their own green to the Salzburger Rasen.

Chest wide and fully motivated!

the FC Salzburg not only crowned the Winter King and the premature male qualified for the group of champions, but also broke a few records:

• 26 wins in a calendar year – club record
• 40 competitive matches per calendar year – Austria record
• Undefeated after 15 Bundesliga matches – club record

In Europa League, Salzburg is on the rise – the champions of the city of Mozart have won all matches in the group and are leading the table in Group B with 6 points in advance and a goal difference of +9.

There is therefore no reason why winning the number 2 against Leipzig is not possible. Marco Rose will certainly put a powerful force on the ground, which will offer a market to the Leipzigians!

Christmas market

In cooperation with the town Thalgau The WEST stadium track turns into a Christmas market for young and old on match day. Boldly decorated wooden cabins, punch, mulled wine and many other delicacies are already waiting three hours before the start of the game on our fans.
