AC Milan will travel to Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday night in an effort to start their Champions League journey with a bang.
Starting with the hosts, Matthias Jaissle’s team is currently experiencing an eye-catching purple streak despite the fact that they are aware they will face a difficult test when they begin their Group E campaign on Tuesday night. The Red Bulls are in the midst of a six-match winning streak that dates back to July 30th, with their sights set on trying to steal a second-place finish this year.
The Austrian giants, who have earned 18 points from their first seven Bundesliga games, will also benefit from their resolute performances in defence. It should be noted that during their current six-match winning streak, the hosts on Tuesday have allowed just one strike. Jaissle will be depending on the team of Fernando and Javier to pull off an upset if Salzburg manages to win this game.
As for the guests, AC Milan has maintained its momentum since the start of the 2022–23 season after finally ending their 11–year wait for a Serie A championship last season. The Italian heavyweights will also benefit from a strong performance over the weekend, as they have gone undefeated in each of their first five domestic matchups.
Stefano Pioli’s team defeated their ferocious local rivals 3-2 in an action-packed match at the San Siro. The Rossoneri will now have their sights firmly set on leaving an early European marker here after eventually winning the Milan bragging rights and with it appearing as though the mood in their camp is continuing to be upbeat.
Salzburg went on a five-game winning streak after suffering a setback in the second round of the new Austrian Bundsliga season. They are hoping to extend that streak for a while. The team will compete for one of the two spots that advance to the knockout stages while attempting to maintain the same performance in their Champions League group. A number of Salzburg’s players, including Mamady Diambou, Koita, Samson Tijani, Piatkowski, and Omoregie, are currently out with injuries.
The defending Serie A champions come into this match in a great mood after defeating Inter 3-2 in the weekend’s Milan derby to stay unbeaten through the first five rounds of the new campaign. One of the top favourites to advance from Group E of the Champions League is AC Milan. As a result of their current injuries, Rade Krunic, Alessandro Florenzi, and Rebic are all likely to miss the team’s next match.
Possible Lineup For Salzburg
Kohn, Dedic, Solet, Wober, Ulmer, Capaldo, Seiwald, Kjaergaard, Kameri – Fernando, Okafor
