Salzburg vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting Tips (6 August)

Salzburg did not win the title last year in his championship, for the 2nd time in a row. It had become rare since the RB had chained 10 titles before that. In the process, the Austrian club competed in the Club World Cup, but will be released in chickens, ending behind Réal Madrid and Al-Hilal. The truce was therefore very short since only a month later the playoffs for the C1 started, with the first opponent Brann Norway, a double confrontation well negotiated 5-2 cumulative. We therefore find ourselves the next round with this Salzburg-Bruges.

Of his side, Bruges entered this round and was able to prepare this deadline with good friendly, a super cup victory against the Union St Gilloise 1-2, and a first success in the league against Genk for the J1 2-1. Note that there too the Bruges club was used to winning the championship almost every year, but that the title escaped them for the benefit of the St Gilloise Union for a handful of points. But Bruges had been able to console himself with a cup victory, in the final against Anderlecht. 

Already absent during the double confrontation against Brann, Kawamura, Sulzbacher, Konaté and Yeo should again be absent for this first leg. On the other hand, author of a big end of the season and scorer against Brann, Nene Dorgeles will be followed, just like Gloukh (10 goals, 5 assists last year) preserved during the return match against the Norwegians. During the transfer window, several players left the club, notably from Ddic for a transfer to Benfica after a loan to Marseille at the end of last season, the defenders S. Baidoo (Lens) and Van der Brempt (Como) and the Capaldo (Hamburg) midfielder. The central Rasmussen and the right side Lainer made the opposite meaning and composed the starting eleven on the outward journey.

Holders last year left the club during the transfer window, notably Jutgla, Cuyper, Nielsen or Talbi. But the Belgians worked well during this transfer window and brought in boys like Tresoldi, a promising young attacker, from Forbs, a twirling winger from the Wolves, or Reis, craftsman from the Hamburg climb to the Bundesliga. Add to that the usual frames who are still there, notably Mignolet, Ordonez, Vanaken, Vetlesen, or Nilsson and Tzolis (16 goals last year) in front. Note that Jashari is on the start and will probably miss the meeting, just like Nilsson (injured) and Sabbe.
