Wolfsburg vs. Salzburg

Wolfsburg got in the mood for the Champions League match with a surprising win at Leverkusen (2:0). Before that, they were on a run of four losses in a row. The German club has no problem scoring goals (they average just over one goal per game in the league) and have come up empty only once in Champions League. The good news is the return of striker Wout Weghorst, who has already joined training after recovering from Covid. Wolfsburg still have hopes of advancing from the group, so they will surely push forward and score some goals.

Salzburg is the top of the table, the only team to win twice and the closest to promotion after half of the six matches. At the weekend they only drew at Ried (2:2), but they easily lead the league. The Austrian side's biggest advantage is in goal scoring (2.54 goals per game), helped by their offensive approach to football. They have scored in each of their three games and this match will be no exception.

H2H: (Group)
Salzburg 3:1 Wolfsburg

Prediction:
Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.72 (bet365)

Salzburg has all it takes to win a Champions League group with Sevilla, Wolfsburg and Lille. First they started with a 1-1 draw in Sevilla and then they missed two penalties. They won 2-1 against Lille and 3-1 against Wolfsburg to take first place in the table.

Wolfsburg managed to draw with Lille 0:0, without even a shot on target and with Sevilla 1:1 and where they were also super pushed in the match and lost to Salzburg. Wolfsburg also lost 4 times out of the last 5 league matches before they managed to win against Leverkusen.

Salzburg has no rivals in the Austrian league, but as you can see, they have gained enough experience to not only play a balanced game with these teams in the group, but also to beat them.

My bet:
Double Chance: Draw or Salzburg @ 1.53 (bet365)

Big win for Wolfsburg. Group is still pretty wide open, should be really interesting to see who makes it through.
