Salzburg vs FC Hibernians PREDICTION & TIPS
RB Salzburg
Red Bull Salzburg can again take part in the third round of the Champions League qualifying this Wednesday. Against Hibernian’s Paola is usually a solid home game to confirm the clear 3-0 away win. But with RB Salzburg you have to expect a surprise in the Champions League. In recent years, it has been mostly negative surprises. To avoid this, coach Marco Rose must prepare his team well and pretend a clear marching route. Despite the manageable performance of Hibernian Paola in the first leg, it is good to not underestimate the squad. It can be assumed that the starting line will not show many changes. The only remaining missing is the Norwegian Valon Berisha. The central midfielder made an unnecessary misstep in Malta and was rewarded with a red card. Berisha was the last of the captains, but the captain’s discussion might be renewed. Also the Youngsters Stefan Lainer and Xaver Schlager will not be in the squad, Both are missing currently still injury. Despite these failures, Marco Rose has high quality staff and it should not be a problem to get a ready-made team on the pitch. Particularly exciting is the competition in internal defense. With the addition of Marin Pongracic, Paulo Miranda and Duje Caleta-Car, there are three players with trunk squares. In the first cup round against Deutschlandsberg (7-0) and in the first leg against Hibernian’s Paola, a different pair of internal defenders was set up. You can be curious if coach Marco Rose this time.
Hibernians Paola
For Maltese teams, the Champions League qualification is almost an impossibility. Since the league has never done a team from Malta. The smallest member state of Europe is therefore a white spot on the map for many football fans. Few fans know even a team from the first Maltese league. Although in the past small surprises arrive, with these remained however usually also then. This year, Hibernian’s Paola is now trying his luck. The team of coach Mark Miller was last season for the total twelfth time Maltese champion. This is one of the most successful clubs in the island state. Before the season, Hibernian’s Paola surprised with two Austrian players. Martin Kreuzriegler and Marco Sahanek went this odd way and hoped to try their hand at Europacup in their career. The latter also succeeded. In the first game against RB Salzburg he was substituted in the course of the game. However, Sahanek could not change the clear 3-0 defeat. The performance in front of the local audience was very desperate. Only the spectators ensured good mood and tried to whip the team again and again. But that evening, the team was so subdued that they did not make a dangerous counter-attack. To avoid this fate also in the return game, the team of Mark Miller needs a proper performance increase. The goal must be a fast goal. With this in the back the team of Red Bull Salzburg maybe still something to be brought out of the rest.
