Red Bull Salzburg vs Sevilla Predictions

• The winner of this tie is guaranteed to progress into the knockout stages.
• Neither team has lost a UCL match by a 2+ goal margin in the 2021 calendar year.
• The hosts boast a near-perfect home record in all 2021/22 competitions (W11, D1).

All to play for in Austria

There are a number of different ways in which this group could look come full-time on matchday six. But one thing is for sure, the winner of this match will qualify for the knockout stages. It’d be a fair argument to say that the Austrians have the edge coming into this match as they have won both of their previous two home games in the group stages so far. Combine that with their exemplary home record this season overall (W11, D1) and it’s clear they will be a handful here.

As far as elite football is concerned, the visitors seem to play their best football when they’re on the road and have gone undefeated in eight straight UCL away trips (W3, D5). Julen Lopetegui’s men have been in a bit of a purple patch of late, particularly at the back as they have conceded just once (against Real Madrid) across their last four matches.

Attack the best form of defence

The hosts only really know how to play one way and that’s attacking. It’s an interestingly poised matchup as both sides have fantastic attacking talent who can score at any moment. It could start in a cagey affair given what’s on the line but with the ability of both teams, we think both teams get on the scoresheet here.
