Feyenoord vs Salzburg prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 6, 2024
One of the Champions League group stage matches on Wednesday will see Feyenoord host Austrian side Salzburg in Rotterdam. We’re backing an outcome bet with excellent odds for this matchup.
Match Preview
The Rotterdam club has stumbled several times in the domestic league, leaving them in fourth place in the standings, eight points behind leaders PSV. In their last league game, Feyenoord hosted AZ Alkmaar, securing a home victory. Last time out in the Champions League, Brian Priske’s side delivered an impressive performance, defeating Benfica 3-1 away. Interestingly, Benfica’s xG was higher at 1.68 compared to Feyenoord's 1.01, but Feyenoord’s clinical display earned them a historic second consecutive Champions League win, scoring over two goals in each match. With six points, Feyenoord sits in 16th place in the overall tournament table.
Salzburg is also in an unusual fourth place in the Austrian Bundesliga. Sturm Graz leads the Bulls by eight points, but Salzburg holds two games in hand. Heading into this clash, the team is coming off a goalless home draw with Grazer AK. In the previous Champions League round, Pep Lijnders' squad suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, marking an unwanted record: for the first time in their Champions League history, Salzburg lost and failed to score in three consecutive matches. They now sit second from the bottom in the group, ahead of only Slovan Bratislava due to a better goal difference.
