Real Madrid vs Red Bull Salzburg Preview
Real Madrid
After a horrific defeat against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final (2-5), Real Madrid have secured two victories in a row. First, they beat Celta in the Copa del Rey in extra time (5-2) and then thrashed Las Palmas 4-1 in La Liga.
As Vinicius Jr. was suspended, Kylian Mbappé took matters into his own hands and scored a brace against Las Palmas. Some say that the French forward is playing better in the absence of the Brazilian superstar, and it is hard to disagree.
Carlo Ancelotti does not need to invent anything special for Salzburg. Pressure and attack from the first minutes will be the game plan. The latest injuries reduce the head coach’s ability to change the squad, and he will probably use the same lineup.
Red Bull Salzburg
The current season is not going well for Salzburg. With one win and five defeats, the team are on the verge of elimination from the Champions League. They need to earn six points in the remaining matches against Real Madrid and Atletico but this feat seems unlikely.
In addition, Salzburg currently lacks playing practice, since the Austrian Bundesliga is on winterbreak until February. It should be noted that the club’s management fired Pep Lijnders and former Bochum manager Thomas Letsch took his place.
The crisis turned out to be permanent, and the new manager is unlikely to rebuild the formation shortly. Additionally, the Austrians’ current lineup is not very promising. The arrival of the new coach should have shaken up and motivated the players, but the level of performance is still lacklustre.
Real Madrid vs Red Bull Salzburg Prediction
- Pick: Real Madrid (-2.5) Handicap
- Odds: -143 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Real Madrid 4-1 Red Bull Salzburg
Real Madrid have faced relatively weak opponents during this part of the season. After beating a struggling Las Palmas, they will play against Salzburg who are going through one of their worst periods in recent years.
The hosts have an excellent opportunity to improve their position in the standings. At the same time, the visitors lack game practice and the squad mostly consists of young and inexperienced players.

Kylian Mbappé, who has been in excellent form, will be eager to increase his tally and Salzburg are the ideal opponents to do so. Also, Vini Jr. will be returning to the squad and with their lightning-speed attacks, Real Madrid will not give the visitors a chance. Our first pick for this match is Real Madrid to win with (-2.5) handicap
Real Madrid vs Red Bull Salzburg Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 3.5 Goals
- Odds: -159 (20Bet)
Salzburg have allowed too many errors in the defence. In the Champions League, the Austrians concede an average of three goals per game, and this figure is unlikely to improve after the game with Real Madrid.
Real Madrid need convincing victories to bounce back after a devastating loss against Barcelona. Over the past two matches, Real Madrid have scored nine goals and they will likely continue the streak.
We assume that the match between Real Madrid and Salzburg will be a one-sided affair. However, Salzburg will certainly get their chances on counterattacks and can upset their rivals. Our second pick for this clash is over 3.5 goals.
