Salzburg vs G.A. Eagles Prediction & Betting Tips (6 November)

How complicated it is at the moment for this RB Salzburg team in this Europa League. Despite all its European experience, the Red Bull company club has still not taken a single point after the first 3 days of this regular season, losing in quick succession against FC Porto 0-1, Lyon 2-0 and finally against Ferencvaros 2-3. Consequently, the Austrians don't have many wildcards left to burn if they hope to go beyond this league phase. At the same time, Salzburg is fighting for 1st place in its championship. After beating Austria Vienna, this team will face Ried next weekend. Opposite, Go Ahead Eagles is undoubtedly one of the nice surprises of this competition.

Really not expected to play the leading roles in the ranking, this Dutch team was first surprised by FCSB 0-1 during the first day before recovering on the field of Panathinaikos 1-2. Better yet, on the previous day, this team created a sensation by winning in front of their home crowd against Aston Villa, who were 1/4 finalists in the last Champions League. On the other hand, it's a little more complicated for the one we nickname The Pride of Ijssel in the championship. Only 10th in the Eredivisie before heading to NAC Breda next weekend, they still had a 2-0 victory against Excelsior. 

Already absent during the last two days, long-term absentees Karim Konate (Ivory Coast international), Takumu Kawamura (midfielder), John Mellberg (19 years old), Justin Omoregie and Sulzbacher should once again throw in the towel this week. To this we add that Anrie Chase was not included on the list of players qualified for the competition and that defenders Terzic (starter) and Douglas (substitute) are in the infirmary. On the other hand, the top scorer in this team, Ratkov (9 goals in all competitions), will undoubtedly be available. The only goals scored by Salzburg in this C3 were by Baidoo and Vertessen. The management of Go Ahead Eagles did not register central defender Saathof and midfielders Blomme and Tengstedt on the list of players authorized to compete in this competition.

In addition, attackers Edvardsen (1 league goal) and Petterson (0 goal) should still remain in the hands of the medical staff this week in the same way as senior defender Nauber. The young striker Smit (4 goals in the league, 2 goals in C3) should make the trip to Austria. At his side, we should find the interesting Suray (3 goals in the league, 1 in C3) who is in good shape at the moment. 

• Summary: Red Bull Salzburg is going head to head with Go Ahead Eagles starting on 6 Nov 2025 at 17:45 UTC at Red Bull Arena stadium, Salzburg city, Austria. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa League .
