Salzburg set for a narrow win over Celtic

Salzburg set for a narrow win over Celtic

On Thursday evening, Red Bull Salzburg host Celtic at the Red Bull Arena in the Europa League, as the home side look to continue an excellent run of form.

Salzburg kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 3-2 win at RB Leipzig. The Austrian side’s recent record in Europe’s secondary competition of late has been good, as the home side has won three of their last four games in this competition.

Their recent games in the Europa League have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings in the competition.

Salzburg have a strong recent home record in the Europa League, as the Austrian side are unbeaten in nine games on home soil, having recorded six victories in 90 minutes.

A key to those good recent home results has been the home sides attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in four of their last five matches.

Celtic have a decent recent Europa League record, having won three of their last five games in Europe’s secondary competition. The Hoops have also suffered just one defeat in their last six games in the competition.

Despite their recent decent form in the Europa League, the Hoops have won just three of their last 16 matches in Europe’s secondary competition.

In their group opener, Brendan Rodgers’ team recorded a 1-0 home win over Rosenborg. The visitor’s recent Europa League games have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last 11 games in the competition.

Celtic have a woeful recent away record in the Europa League, failing to win in 12 outings. They have also won just once in 20 away games in Europe’s secondary competition.

Forebet predicts that Salzburg will record a narrow victory in a high scoring encounter to continue their good start to the season.
