Birmingham have 18 points on their account, they occupy the second place and are only inferior to Lyon in terms of additional indicators.

Current form
Salzburg was initially among the likely contenders for a place in the top 24, but did not fully justify this status during the tournament. It was only thanks to the 3-1 victory over Basel in the last round that we managed to maintain our theoretical playoff chances. The Bulls have six points, they are in 28th place and two points behind Celtic, who are in 24th place. Accordingly, today you just need to win, and wait for the misfires of competitors. During the tournament, Salzburg demonstrates effective football, scoring eight goals himself, but has already conceded 12 times. The Austrian Bundesliga is still on hiatus, with Thomas Lech's men taking first place with a three-point lead over their closest pursuer.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mellberg and Kawamura will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- In three consecutive matches, Salzburg has not lost in the first half.
- In the last eight away matches in the Europa League, Salzburg was inferior.

7.60Tip and bets
Aston Villa decided to reach the 1/8 finals a round before the finish, obviously there will be a rotation today, but now the struggle in the Premier League is coming to the fore. Taking into account possible changes in the squad, it is not worth waiting for a clear and reliable defensive game from Birmingham. Moreover, Salzburg has nowhere to retreat, it is necessary to go forward with great strength and score in order to have chances for the playoffs. At the same time, the bulls are still far from optimal playing conditions, as the season in the Austrian Bundesliga has not resumed, there will clearly be problems with the reliability of the defensive game. We believe that we should expect an exchange of goals scored today.
Our betting tip is that both will score for a coefficient of 1.70
Betting on the outcome
Even taking into account possible changes in the squad, Aston Villa has an advantage in class, performs at home and does not have the right to play carelessly.
