The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu is the venue for a crucial Champions League contest on Wednesday evening as reigning champions Real Madrid takes on Austrian champions Salzburg.
Real Madrid vs Salzburg Betting Tips: Real Madrid Win / Over 3.5 Goals
Real Madrid enter this crucial Champions League clash under significant pressure to deliver a victory following a disappointing campaign in the competition so far. Los Merengues have struggled for consistency with three wins and three defeats suffered from six games played.
While it seems near improbable that the reigning champions could fail to emerge in one of the top 24 spots, Carlo Ancelotti´s side sit 20th in the competition, only two points above the chasing pack.
Despite a painful defeat in the Super Cup final to Barcelona earlier this month, Real are in good form with seven wins in their last eight matches across all competitions. An entertaining side to watch, Ancelotti`s men scored 26 goals while conceding nine in those victories.
Austrian champions Salzburg make the trip to Spain with qualification for the next round now all but out of their reach. The Red Bull owned franchise have lost five of their last six UCL matches while conceding 18 goals in the process.
With Real scoring plenty in recent weeks, and Salzburg struggling at Europe's top table, a high-scoring home win seems inevitable on Wednesday. Los Merengues have seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last 12 matches, while Salzburg have seen the same outcome in five of their last six UCL outings.
Both teams' attacking styles, combined with defensive vulnerabilities, point to a high-scoring affair with at least three goals expected, likely culminating in a comfortable home win for Real Madrid.
I´m banking on Real scoring at least four goals against their over-matched Austrian visitors.
