Free prediction for Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg

We say Real Madrid will win 2-1 and this is why. Real Madrid may have struggled in the Champions League this term, having lost three of their last six matches, but RB Salzburg are worse, having lost five of their last six. Given that Real have a vast experience in this competition coupled with the visitors’ poor form (1W 5L).

Prediction: Real Madrid will win — 1.20

We predict Over 2.5 goals and this is why. RB Salzburg averaged 3.50 goals per game after six UCL matches, while Real Madrid averaged 3.83 goals per game in six UCL matches. Given that both teams averaged over 2.5 goals per UCL match, we think both sides will provide three goals here.

Prediction: Over 2.5 goals – 1.24

Match preview for Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg

Real Madrid are surprisingly outside the top eight of the new Champions League group stage format, having lost three and won three of their opening six UCL games. They sit in 20th place with nine points, but they can still finish in top eight if they win their last two matches.

RB Salzburg are technically out of the Champions League, having lost five of their last six matches. They can confirm their exit in Madrid when they face Real Madrid on matchday seven, and the reason behind their early exit from the competition is down to their blunt attack and shambolic defense, having scored only three goals and conceded 18 goals in six games.
