Will the Mozart city team finally turn things around?
Red Bull Salzburg are not only three points behind Sturm Graz in the league after their recent 2-2 draw with SCR Altach, but they have also got off to a terrible start in the Europa League group stage. Two games, two defeats and 0-3 goals are the Mozart city team’s record, and they are now looking to turn things around. However, Red Bull Salzburg’s bid for their first three points against Ferencvaros Budapest comes with a certain amount of risk. After all, the Red Bulls have lost six of their last eight games in the Europa League (one win, one draw) – including the last three in a row.
The visitors from the Danube, on the other hand, followed up a 1-1 draw with Viktoria Plzen with a 1-0 away win at KRC Genk. The Hungarians could now theoretically win two European away games in a row in the main rounds of UEFA competitions (excluding qualifying) for the first time since 1967/68, but that will not be easy either.
However, given that the Red Bulls have struggled to score goals and Fradi are difficult to beat due to their defensive qualities, we can at least expect a low-scoring match, which is why we recommend betting on under 2.75 goals in the match between Red Bull Salzburg and Ferencvaros Budapest.
For the Mozartstadt team, the main priority will be to finally score a goal in an international competitive match at the third attempt, something they failed to do against Porto (0-1) and Lyon (0-2). Ferencvaros Budapest, on the other hand, has conceded only one goal in two Europa League group stage matches, but has also scored only two goals of its own. It therefore makes sense to bet that only one team will score in this match.
Red Bull Salzburg – Ferencvaros Budapest Head-to-head record
The two teams have never met in a competitive international match before. This means that there is no head-to-head data available that could influence our prediction for Red Bull Salzburg vs. Ferencvaros Budapest in any way.
Red Bull Salzburg – Ferencvaros Budapest ipp
Although the odds offered by German-licensed bookmakers for Red Bull Salzburg vs. Ferencvaros Budapest favor the home team, we are rather skeptical about a possible victory for the Red Bulls. The Mozartstadt team has only won one of its last eight Europa League matches (one draw, six defeats) and lost the first two games of this year’s league phase without scoring.
This offensive slump now comes up against an opponent that has not only remained unbeaten in the Europa League (one win, one draw), but has also conceded only one goal in two games.
Although Fradi have scored once in each of their two EL league games so far, they are not exactly known for their exciting attacking football under Robbie Keane. We don’t expect a particularly high-scoring match, which is why we are opting for the Asian line and betting on under 2.75 goals with five out of ten units via the Bet365 app.
