Borussia Dortmund Salzburg match preview

Borussia and Salzburg have started their European path in the Champions League, but Salzburg was already stopped in qualifiers, and Borussia was eliminated after the group stage. Salzburg has played the group stage of Europa League without defeat, and Borussia was left without a victory in the Champions League. In the sixteenth finals, Borussia eliminated Atalanta, while Salzburg was better than Real Sociedad. They are playing with different successes in their domestic competitions and Borussia is only third, and Salzburg is a sovereign leader in Austria. This will be their first match.

Borussia Dortmund

The only thing that changes with Borussia in the second part of the season is their series of wins and draws. They have not lost any matches since the end of last calendar year when they were defeated by Bayern in the Cup, after which they ended the year with two championship victories. In the new year, they first made a series of three draws, then four consecutive victories and now again a series of three draws. Everything was enough to qualify in the round of sixteen of Europa League and to stay in second place in Bundesliga, but now they are in the third position, after the derby last weekend with Leipzig.

This is not a bad achievement, as opposed to the one from the previous round when they played 1-1 with Augsburg on their field. The first draw in the mentioned series was played with Atalanta with the result 1-1, but it was enough to pass. There is still a fairly long list of injured players, but coach Stoger will still refresh the team with Sokratis and probably Pulisic.

Probable lineups Borussia Dortmund: Burki – Piszczek, Toprak, Sokratis, Schmelzer – Weigl, Dahoud – C.Pulisic, Reus, Schurrle – Batshuayi

Salzburg

Salzburg is still very impressive this season despite their possibilities, and the only bad thing is that they were eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers very early, but they have not lost any matches in that competition, but were eliminated after two draws and a goal received on their field. In Europa league, Salzburg has played ten games and have not lost any, and if we consider also the last season, they have a series of 13 games without defat in this competition.

They are dominant in the championship and the have lost only once in the derby by Sturm, to which they returned twice and therefore have ten point advantage and are at the top of the table, with the placement in the semi-finals of the Cup. However, domestic competitions cannot be a benchmark for European appearances, and they have shown that in two duets with Real Sociedad, when they saved themselves from losing as guests in the last seconds and then celebrated with 2-1 on their domestic field. There are no injured and suspended players after Caleta-Car returned to the field, so coach Rose can count on his strongest forces for this match.

Probable lineups Red Bull Salzburg: Burki – Piszczek, Toprak, Sokratis, Schmelzer – Weigl, Dahoud – C.Pulisic, Reus, Schurrle – Batshuayi

Verdict:

Both teams are long without defeat, but it is more difficult for Borussia in the German Bundesliga and it is clear that they are much better individually. They are the hosts and we give them an advantage, which means that it is time for Salzburg to lose one match.
