Salzburg vs Locomotiv Moscow Betting Tips

This is 2nd consecutive season for the Salzburg Red Bull in the Champions League. Last year they were eliminated from the group stage but managed to finish 3rd in the group ahead of Genk. In the last round of qualifications for this year's group stage, they easily defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv in both matches 3-1 at home and 2-1 in Israel. There are no problems in the Austrian championships so far. They are practical without real competition. In the last match of the Austrian Bundesleague against Hartberg, they scored as many as 7 goals. Daka is at the top of the scoreboard with 5 goals.

As Russia's vice-champion, Lokomotiv Moscow has secured direct participation in the Champions League's group stage. After a bad start to the Russian Super League season, Lokomotiva won 4 times in a row and is now in 4th place with 21 points, which is 4 less than Zenit actual champion, which is in the first place. Moscow's team is in excellent shape, and, unlike Salzburg, they play much harder and more concentrated on defending their goal, with a couple of good midfielders. I expect a similar tactic now for this duel. This is a team with a large number of home players, but some of them as a striker Portuguese Eder significantly contribute to the quality.

Salzburg vs Locomotiv Moscow Correct Score Predictions

Salzburg enters this match under great charge after some matches in which they scored an enormous number of goals, but now they come across a very strong team that does not give up so easily. I think Lokomotiva is quite underestimated here. However, this is the Champions League and not an ordinary match of the Austrian league, so it seems to me that the odds that Lokomotiva will achieve a positive result are very tempting and it is good to try here with a double chance X2. As for the exact result of the 1-1 match, it seems like a good solution.
