Both Red Bull Salzburg and Club Brugge have become regulars in the main phases of the UEFA Champions League. This year, however, one will miss Europe’s top competition. As either side is ready and primed, this is expected to be a very close call and an overall interesting tie.
FC RB Salzburg Team News
RB Salzburg had an extremely short summer due to their participation in the CWC. Now, the team has kicked off its domestic and European campaigns with mixed to good results. Overall, since the start of the new season, RB Salzburg have recorded 2 wins and 2 draws. Three of those 4 games produced over 2.5 goals and also saw the team both score and concede. In the previous round of the UCL qualifiers, RB Salzburg eliminated Brann after 2 games, a total of 5 goals scored and failure to keep a clean sheet in either game. This trend aligns with the overall perception of the team as being a high-scoring, yet regularly conceding one.
Club Brugge KV Team News
Club Brugge enjoyed a successful UCL campaign last season, managing to reach the Round of 16 and also throwing a surprise by eliminating Atalanta. However, the start of this season has been mixed. Despite winning the Belgian Supercup, the league start has been average. What can be noted is the fact that Brugge’s games thus far have been rather eventful. All of their 3 official games of the 25/26 season have ended in the same 2-1 result. This means that all of the team’s competitive games so far have featured at least 3 goals and have seen both Brugge and their opponents scoring.
Head-to-Head-Games
RB Salzburg and Club Brugge have met one another once, in the Round of 16 tie from the 2018/19 Europa League. Both games produced over 2.5 goals, with the Belgian side winning the first leg 2-1 but suffering a 4-0 defeat in the return leg.
FC RB Salzburg vs Club Brugge KV Betting Prediction
For this game, I am going with over 2.5 goals. Both sides have been involved in highly-scoring games thus far, and both have displayed good offensive output coupled with shaky defences. This combination of characteristics is ideal for chasing goals, as both teams are just as likely to score as they are to concede.
