Twente vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

Prediction published on 13/08/2024, 05:00  by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions

Twente will look to turn the tide when they face Salzburg in the second leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie on Tuesday night. The winner of this match will face either Dynamo Kyiv or Rangers in the playoff round. Check out our match prediction below. 

Twente made the trip to Red Bull Arena last week and were arguably a little lucky to come away from the contest just one goal down (2-1), as they were outplayed for the majority of the match. 

Across the 90, the Tukkers saw just 32% possession and managed just five attempts on goal, only three of which were on target compared to their opponents' whopping 18 shots at goal. 

They bounced back from that result with a 2-1 win over NEC at the weekend, which ended a four-match winless run that included three draws during pre-season. 

Twente ended last season with six consecutive home wins in their domestic league and have only lost one of their last 12 matches at De Grolsch Veste in all competitions. 

Meanwhile, Salzburg have the advantage in this tie courtesy of a Maurits Kjaergaard brace in the 40th and 85th minute before Michel Vlap pulled one back for the Dutch outfit with virtually the last kick of the match. 

With last week’s result, the Austrian champions are now on a four-match winning streak this season and scored two or more goals in each of those games. Additionally, Salzburg have scored in 11 consecutive matches leading up to this one. 

The visitors are on a four-match winning streak on the road and have only failed to score in one of their last 12 away games in all competitions.
