SALZBURG. FC Salzburg, Austrian football champion, is asking today (18h55, Puls 4 live) at the next party of the Europa League. Dazzling omens. In a draw against the "twin club", RB Leipzig would be the Mozartstädtern on the 29,520 spectators, the Red Bull Arena sold completely, the victory of the group being badured. This is badociated with a bonus of 1.5 million – one million for first place and 500,000 for entry into the last 32 round.

An impressive series

For Salzburg, this would be the sixth climb in the history of the club, the city of Mozart will be on the way but not with a defensive battle and the hope of a 0: 0 content. L & # Marco Rose's team has bigger ambitions and the second hits against Leipzig. On September 20, a thrilling 3-2 win was won in an exciting derby in Saxony, which Norwegian striker Fredrik Gulbrandsen settled in the 89th minute. Now the cards are mixed. Salzburg appears as a king of the league fresh out of the oven, which knows the word defeat only by hearsay. Andreas Ulmer & Co. lost on May 27 against Vienna, Austria (0: 4). Since then, there have been 23 wins and 4 draws.

The successful series lasts even longer in the home stadium. On November 27, 2016 – almost exactly two years ago – Wals-Siezenheim lost 1-0 to Admira. Under the coach Oscar Garcia. Meaning: Rose knows the feeling of losing at home, not at all. And that should stay that way.

Leipzig is in front of the Bavarians

However, despite the recent 0-1 defeat at Wolfsburg, Leipzig is stronger than in September. The team of Ralf Rangnick has progressed to fourth place in the German Bundesliga, the big Bayern is only in fifth place. "We will show here in Salzburg a face different from that of the home match," promised Rangnick, who had been furious after the 2: 3 against Salzburg and who had swept the verbal speech: "It's completely perverted. Let's fly for three months across Europe, qualify for the group stage, and then some players think it's just a chore. "But the 60-year-old also has words of praise to his opponent: "Salzburg is one of the best teams in Europe right now".

There is no "stall order"

A nice compliment, which will not try however the citizens of Mozart to move up a gear. Despite a comfortable starting position (four games, four wins, 14: 5 goals), FC Salzburg has nothing to give, although the Red Bull Empire would certainly have a good taste if, in addition to Salzburg, Leipzig (currently with six points, equal) Celtic Glasgow) ascends. In view of this constellation, the theme of "stall order" is summed up. But in this regard, all are still allergic. Red Bull's director Dietrich Mateschitz joins Nullkommanull in the field of operations, and I have no influence on Salzburg, "said Leipzig managing director Oliver Mintzlaff:" Salzburg and Leipzig have pbaded, but neither a present nor a common future. "

Notably for this reason, a full – blown event is announcing today. Salzburg knows only power football and no palpation anyway. "My boys must always be up, we are the Red Bull Salzburg, we expect that," said Rose, to whom Amadou Haidara and Reinhold Yabo (both injured) are not available.

Fast in distress

The Austrian world football champion Rapid today in Moscow against Spartak (16:50, DAZN live) against Spartak will not be forced to lose the last day of the Europa League group stage with a final "dahoam" "for progression against the Glasgow Rangers. The Green-Whites, who beat the Russian table in seventh place at home 2-0, are currently beaten physically and psychologically.

The 0-1 home defeat against LASK in the Bundesliga was a major setback in the fight for participation in the top six "champions group", before the flight to Moscow also reported that midfielder Thomas Murg was sick. The former Rieder is missing, as well as Christopher Dibon, Andrija Pavlovic (Muscle Blisters) and Andrei Ivan (Strain). Rapid is at the bottom of the pack but only two points behind Villarreal. "Anything is possible.We will fight for our luck, but we must increase," said Rapid coach Didi Kühbauer.
