Real Madrid vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Joseph King | in Champions League Predictions
The league phase of the UEFA Champions League is into its penultimate round as 20th-place Real Madrid host 32nd-placed RB Salzburg. We’ve got a prediction ready for this match between Los Blancos and Die Roten Bullen!
Real Madrid are in desperate need of three points to bolster their case of advancing further in the competition. The defending champions are currently in a place for the knockout playoff with their nine point total seeing them two points ahead of 25th-place PSG. There’s still a chance they could qualify directly for the round of 16 but they would need to take maximum points from their remaining two matches and need a few other teams to slip up.
RB Salzburg are faced with the mammoth task of defeating Real Madrid if they are to avoid being eliminated from the 2024/25 Champions League. The Austrian outfit has managed only three points from their opening six matches which has them trailing the top 24 by five points. Anything other than a victory against the holders will see Salzburg without a shot of qualifying for the knockout playoffs.

Real Madrid - Salzburg: Form Analysis
Real Madrid have already played a number of cup finals this season. They emerged victorious in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup but would later suffer a humiliating 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Supercopa final.
In the Champions League, Madrid have traded a win for a loss as they have been unable to string together two consecutive victories. They’re sitting on three wins and three losses with their last appearance in this competition resulting in a wild 3-2 away win over Atalanta back in December.
Madrid come into this contest in fantastic form with seven wins from their last eight across all competitions.
Most recently, Los Blancos ran out 4-1 winners at home over Las Palmas to extend their lead atop La Liga to two points.
RB Salzburg have had a tough time of it this season. Not only are they 10 points behind leaders Sturm Graz in the Austrian Bundesliga, they’re also hanging on by a thread in the Champions League.
This will be Salzburg’s first competitive fixture since December 14th when they cruised to a 3-0 home win over Klagenfurt in the Bundesliga. However, that was only the team’s second win in their last eight across all competitions.
Salzburg have lost their last two straight in the Champions League, during which time they conceded eight goals while failing to score.

Real Madrid & Salzburg Squad Analysis
Real Madrid has been hit hard by injuries to their back line. Dani Carvajal, the fourth-place finisher in the 2024 Ballon d’Or, is sidelined for the remainder of the 2024/25 season following an ACL injury in October.
With Lucas Vazquez being suspended following his third yellow card in the win over Atalanta, it means that midfielder Fede Valverde could have to deputise in the right back position.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti is without a recognised right back to call upon for this fixture.
Elsewhere, Eder Militao is also out long-term with an ACL tear while Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga are both doubts for this clash. The good news for the holders is that David Alaba has returned which will help with the short defensive numbers.
As for the visitors, Salzburg manager Thomas Letsch will be without a few players for this trip to the Spanish capital.
Maurits Kjaergaard has been out since the end of October with an ankle injury while striker Karim Konaté is a long term absence after suffering an ACL tear in November.
Samson Tijani is also out for the remainder of the campaign with a knee injury. Oscar Gloukh is undoubtedly the danger man for the Austrian giants with the talented Israeli leading his team in goals + assists with 13 total in 25 appearances this season.
