Salzburg Team News
If they had managed to beat AC Milan away in the last match of the group stage of the Champions League, Red Bull Salzburg would now be playing in the strongest European competition. But they have to settle for this and try to eliminate a very tough opponent like AS Roma.
In the Austrian championship, they beat Lustenau quite easily at home with 4:0 in the last game. The guests held on for the entire first half, but then the rhapsody of the home team followed and they scored all four goals in the 45th minute. Fernando hit the opponent’s net twice, and Nicolas Seiwald and Nicolas Capaldo scored once each.
In the Bundesliga, they occupy the first position in the table with 42 points, six more than the second-placed Sturm Graz. Two weeks ago, they were eliminated by the same team in the quarter-finals of the Austrian Cup on penalties. In the last four matches in all competitions, they registered three wins and one loss.
The coach of Salzburg, Matthias Jaissle, will not be able to count on Daoud Guind, Bryan Okoh, Justin Omoregie, and Samson Tijani for this match. Dijon Kameri is a question mark.
Red Bull Salzburg has one of the youngest teams in the Europa League, and the average age of this team is 22 years and 279 days.
AS Roma Team News
The guests enter this match with a great deal of self-confidence, as AS Roma has not been defeated in the previous three times in Austria. At the same time, they won the European Conference League last year and have a lot of experience in European matches.
In the last match in the Italian championship, they drew 1:1 away from home with Lecce. Although they were a better rival in that match, they failed to defeat the host. The only goal for the visitors was scored by Paolo Dybala in the 17th minute from the penalty spot.
In Serie A, they are tied for third place with 41 points, the same number as Atalanta and Milan. In the league, in the previous five matches, they recorded three wins, one draw, and one loss each.
Jose Mourinho, the coach of AS Roma, cannot count on Leonardo Spinazzola and Ebrima Darboe for this match. On the other hand, Georginio Wijnaldum has recovered from his injury, and he is ready to welcome the match with Salzburg.

Salzburg vs AS Roma Prediction
Although the home team is in good shape, ranked first in the table in their championship, and scores a lot of goals, now in front of them they have a very strong opponent who plays conservative football especially away from home. We are of the opinion that the visitors have a better chance of winning this match, and they are also slight favorites.
