Red Bull Salzburg vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Real Sociedad have won four of their last six games in all competitions
• One or both teams have failed to score in each of Salzburg’s last four matches
• Real Sociedad have won each of their last two games without conceding

Salzburg helped by red card against Benfica

Salzburg know how to make an impression on the Champions League stage and did exactly that on matchday one, recording a 2-0 win away to Benfica.

That said, the Austrian Bundesliga side were helped by a 13th-minute red card picked up by Benfica’s Antonio Silva in that contest and they may not have an easy time of it against Real Sociedad on Tuesday.

Real Sociedad managed to hold last season’s runners-up Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw in their first game in Group D but arguably deserved more from the game, having taken the lead after four minutes and restricted the Italians to one shot on target.

Real Sociedad can build on derby triumph

Since that stalemate, Real Sociedad have gone on to beat Getafe, Valencia and, most notably, Athletic Bilbao.

Real Sociedad cruised to a 3-0 win over their rivals in the Basque derby on Sunday and they looked ruthless at the Anoeta.

The likes of Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal are in good form and can help the La Liga outfit to maximum points in Austria.

As for a correct score selection, goals have been at a premium in recent Salzburg fixtures so 1-0 to Real Sociedad could be the way to go.
