Betting tips for RB Leipzig vs Salzburg 20.09.2018

After clarifying the last course that, despite what everyone senses, both teams have the same owner, the German Red Bulls are measured at the Red Salzburg in this fratricidal first game of their group in the Europa League.

The RB Leipzig opens the season in Germany with the advantage of being fully involved in competition in the Europa League. The whole of the drinks firm plays for the second season in the European elite, seeking to repeat the success achieved two seasons ago, when it finished runner-up in the Bundesliga just in the season of its debut. With more than 317 million of budget for this campaign, the Red Bulls have the enormous economic support of the isotonic beverage brand, and will have the veteran Ralf Rangnick as the new coach.

The French side Nordi Mukiele, coming from Montpellier; the Brazilian center striker of FC Sion Matheus Cunha; and the Uruguayan left-back of River Plate Marcelo Saracchi. In total, the RB Leipzig spends 43 million euros to strengthen when they have entered almost 74 million by sales of Naby Keita to Liverpool; Bernardo to Brighton & Hove Albion; Benno Schmitz to FC Köln; Philipp Köhn to Red Bull Salzburg; Anthony Jung to the Danish Brondby; Agyemang Diawusie to Ingolstadt; and Zsolt Kalmar with Slovenian Dunajska Streda.

Pending debuts in the Bundesliga 18-19, the Red Bulls have already played two rounds of this competition. In the first, they had no problems to eliminate the Swedish Hacken (4-0 at home, 1-1 at home). The pattern was repeated in the previous round, when they won 3-1 at the University of Craiova in Leipzig, tying in the second leg (1-1). In addition, last weekend the team debuted in the German Cup, winning 1-3 at Viktoria Cologne. The team comes from a draw in Ukraine against Zorya (0-0) in the first leg of this last qualifying round for the group stage of the Europa League and losing in Dortmund (3-1) in the first game of the Bundesliga .

 Red Bull Salzburg was one step away from playing the final of the last Europa League. The Austrian side played a great season with the hand of the German Marco Rose, dominating the national Bundesliga and playing great football in the European tournament. With 114 million euros, the equipment of the isotonic drinks company has entered more than 37 million euros with the sales of the quoted Croatian central Duje Caleta-Car, finally sold to Olympique Marseille in exchange for 19 million; Kosovo midfielder Valon Berisha, who goes to Lazio for 7.5 million euros; the end Valentino Lazaro, for which the Hertha Berlin pays 6.5 million; and Cameroonian striker Dimitri Oberlin, transferred to Basel for 4.1 million. The club barely invests 7.05 million euros in the signings of striker Karim Adeyemi, center Jerome Onguene, goalkeeper Philipp Köhn and center-back Jasper van der Werff. Zlatko Junuzovic, from Werder Bremen, and young Kilian Ludewig, from the RB Leipzig subsidiary, are also free.

The Austrian team, which started with victories in both the Bundesliga and the first qualifying round for the Champions League against Shkendija, ended up being eliminated by the Red Star.


Duel of brothers in Germany, where the locals must prevail before their greatest potential.
