RB Salzburg is fighting for redemption against Go Ahead Eagles today!

Things are really getting down to business today in the Red Bull Arena in Wals near Salzburg! The Europa League game between RB Salzburg and the Go Ahead Eagles is on the program at 6:45 p.m. Salzburg, who triumphed with a clear 4-1 against SV Ried on Sunday, want to finally secure a win after three defeats in this group phase. Spox reports on the urgent need for success, because Things have been anything but smooth so far in the Europa League season: a narrow home defeat against FC Porto, followed by another defeat at Ferencváros and an expected defeat in Lyon make the European balance appear rather bleak.

What is the situation of the Go Ahead Eagles? The Dutch did better in this group stage. After a narrow 0-1 defeat against Steaua Bucharest, they picked up two wins: first they won 2-1 in Athens against Panathinaikos and then they also beat Aston Villa 2-1 in their own stadium. But things are not going according to plan in the Eredivisie, most recently there was a 0-1 defeat against Breda - the Eagles are only in eleventh place here.

The path to the top teams in the group

If you look at the entire group, RB Salzburg is currently at the bottom. A bitter pill to swallow considering they already had a strong record in the last Europa League season. The current group opponents, such as Olympique Lyon, Midtjylland and Sporting Braga, can now look forward to a positive result: Lyon has won all three games so far. BBC informs that Lyon are therefore at the top with an impeccable record.

To what extent Salzburg can break out of its current negative spiral remains to be seen. The fans can only hope that the team can live up to its potential - a win would be enormously important not only for the team, but also for the entire region!
