Champions League Red Star vs Red Bull Salzburg

Red Star vs Red Bull Salzburg Champions League

One of the most interesting qualifiers of the 4th qualifying round for the group stage of the Champions League in Belgrade faced the red and white set with the Austrian Red Bull Salzburg. The Red Star, European champion in the old direct elimination format, led by Savicevic and Prosinecki, dreams of getting back into the best teams in the continent. Vladan Milojevic, creator of the great season of the Serbs, continues to lead a group that will have a budget of almost 41 million euros.

Active in the Serbian Superliga since the end of July, of which he is leader with full victories in four days, having conceded only one goal and scoring 10, the Zvezda comes from doing a great job in the two previous rounds of this Champions League. First eliminated the Lithuanian Suduva, who even won at home (0-2) in the second leg. Already in the previous round, the rival was Spartak Trnava, who suffered to eliminate after drawing at home (1-1) and having to win by 1-2.

Eleven Probable: Zoran Popovic – Srdan Babic, Stefan Hajdin, Rashid Sumaila, Marko Gobeljic – Dejan Meleg, Nenad Milijas, Slavoljub Srnic, Dusan Jovancic, Milan Jevtovic – Milan Pavkov.
Red Bull Salzburg was one step away from playing the final of the last Europa League. The Austrian side played a great season with the hand of the German Marco Rose, dominating the national Bundesliga and playing great football in the European tournament. With 114 million euros, the equipment of the isotonic drinks company has entered more than 37 million euros with the sales of the quoted Croatian central Duje Caleta-Car, finally sold to Olympique Marseille in exchange for 19 million; Kosovo midfielder Valon Berisha, who goes to Lazio for 7.5 million euros; the end Valentino Lazaro, for which the Hertha Berlin pays 6.5 million; and Cameroonian striker Dimitri Oberlin, transferred to Basel for 4.1 million. The club barely invests 7.05 million euros in the signings of striker Karim Adeyemi, center Jerome Onguene, goalkeeper Philipp Köhn and center-back Jasper van der Werff. Zlatko Junuzovic, from Werder Bremen, and young Kilian Ludewig, from the RB Leipzig subsidiary, are also free.

The Austrian side is full of victories both in the Bundesliga and in the qualifying round of the previous round against Shkendija, coming in great form to this match since they have conceded only one goal in these six games.

Eleven Probable: Cican Stankovic – Darko Todorovic, Jasper van der Werff, Marin Pongracic, Andreas Ulmer – Amadou Haidara, Zlatko Junuzovic, Enock Mwepu, Hannes Wolf – Takumi Minamino, Smail Prevljak.

There are no preceding matches between the two. The Serbs have not lost in the last 23 games, nor in the last 21 at home. As visitors, the Austrians have four wins in a row, so one of the two will lose his streak. A priori, it will be a match in which they will most likely tie and leave everything to solve it in Salzburg.
