RB Salzburg vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview
RB Salzburg
RB Salzburg will take on prominent opponents Paris Saint-Germain at home in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, knowing that they’re not the favourites to win.
Salzburg, instead, will have to devise a way to shatter their opponents’ defence so they can pick up all three points. Although it won’t be an easy task, their manager, Pepijn Lijnders, will trust his attackers, Gloukh and Ratkov, to do the job without creating much of a fuss.
They like to play in a solid 4-2-3-1 formation with a lot of emphasis on defence and order. At the time of writing, they’ve lost three out of their last five matches, and the lack of confidence is bound to affect them. However, their wingers, Dorgeles and Clark, know how to create space for themselves, and it will be interesting to see how they fare against the Parisian defenders.
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain, one of the biggest clubs in the world, know the only trophy missing from their cabinet, the UEFA Champions League, has to be added soon to be considered equal to teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool.
They’ve been unbeaten in four of their last five matches, although only two games resulted in victories. Hence, they hope to put up an attacking performance in this game against Salzburg, pick up all three points, and move up the table.

PSG are ranked 25th in the combined UCL standings with 4 points to their name, whereas Salzburg are 32nd with just 3 points.
PSG have not done well in the continental competition this season, winning just 1 out of 5 matches and losing 3. The defeats to Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and Bayern Munich will sting PSG a lot, and they’ll want to improve their fortunes.
Bet hereRB Salzburg vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
- Pick: PSG to win
- Odds: 1.35 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: RB Salzburg 1-3 PSG
Although PSG have not been in the best form in the UCL this season, we expect them to win this game comfortably. They’re the favourites, and Salzburg will struggle against them, especially in defence. The latter are the leaders of the French Ligue 1 table with 34 points and have a lot of ammo up their sleeves.
They like to play in a 4-3-3 formation, and although Ousmane Dembélé has been suspended for this game, Lee, Barcola, and Hakimi will ensure that the former is not missed. A cruciate ligament injury to Lucas Hernández will also hamper PSG, but they have enough reserves in their squad.
For Salzburg, a long list of injuries, including those to Fernando, Amar Dedić, and Karim Konaté, among others, will not make this tussle any easier.
RB Salzburg vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals.
- Odds: 1.33 (22Bet)
PSG have many top-quality attackers, and we expect over 2.5 goals to be scored in this match. Salzburg, too, have good attackers, but the injuries they have borne throughout the season seem to have hampered them somewhat.
PSG have scored eight goals in their last five matches, which means they’re in good form. They’ll also be expected to score quite a few in this encounter.

There have only been two games played between these two teams in the past, and both clubs have won one game apiece. The last time they met, in 2011, in a Europa League encounter, Salzburg defeated PSG 2-0. However, this time, PSG appear much stronger and have the upper hand over their opponents.
