Salzburg vs PSG. Prediction (odds 2.50) and bets on the Champions League match

Current form

Salzburg fought their way into the league stage, but for objective reasons were not among the obvious contenders even for a ticket to the 1/16 finals. Pep Lijnders' team started with a 0:3 defeat to Sparta Prague - in this match the "bulls" could well have counted on points, but there was a failure. In the second round, the vice-champion of Austria lost 0:4 at home to Brest, practically nullifying their already small chances of making the playoffs.

https://www.redbullsalzburg.at/>Salzburg losing streak was extended by Dinamo Zagreb - the Blues were stronger in Austria with a score of 0:2. The Bulls achieved their first, and so far only, victory in the fourth round, sensationally beating Feyenoord 3:1 away. Salzburg was not capable of another feat - a 0:5 defeat to Bayer in the last round does not allow them to rise above 32nd place in the table.

Disqualifications and injuries

Konate, Kjaergaard, Blasvich, Morhalla and Terzic are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• Salzburg have lost four of their last five Champions League matches
• Salzburg have failed to score in four of their last five Champions League matches
• Salzburg have scored against PSG in their last two matches

Estimated line-up: Schlager - Capaldo, Pentkowski, Baidu, Gindo - Bajcetic, Clark, Bidstrup - Yeo, Dorgeles, Glukh.

Current form

PSG approached the start of the Champions League as a clear contender for a place in the top eight, but so far this status has not been justified. In the first match, the team beat Girona 1:0 at home with great difficulty, but was unable to build on the success. In the away match against Arsenal, the Parisians looked frankly weak and quite naturally lost 0:2 at the Emirates.

In the home match against PSV, https://www.psg.fr/>PSG probably planned to take the maximum and return to the fight for the top eight, but made a lot of mistakes and had to settle for a 1:1 draw on their home field. The last rounds of the Champions League ended in disaster - first, the "red-blues" lost 1:2 to Atletico at home, then lost 0:1 to Bayern away, thus ending up in 25th place in the table.

In the French championship, PSG is far from perfect in the first round, but has no serious competition from either Marseille or Monaco, leading the table with 34 points. The Red-Blues are five points ahead of their main pursuers, but the situation has recently been even calmer - two draws in a row against Nantes (1:1) and Auxerre (0:0) allowed their competitors to catch up.

Disqualifications and injuries

Dembele is suspended. Hernandez is injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• PSG have not won in their last three matches – two draws and a defeat
• PSG have failed to score in two of their last three matches
• PSG have conceded in two of their last three away matches

Probable line-up: Donnarumma - Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes - Zaire-Emry, Vitinha, Neves - Lee, Asensio, Barcola.
