AKARTA – Real Madrid will try to ease the pressure in the Champions League when they host Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday evening, January 22 or the early hours of Thursday WIB. After a less convincing start, the defending champion now risks losing a place going into the match, but a win in this match will almost certainly secure their place in the last 24.
Real Madrid scored a crucial win in the late game against Atalanta in Game 6, helping them stay on track to qualify for the preliminary round. Carlo Ancelotti’s side are currently just two points clear of the tie, and the pressure could increase if the other teams win the day before.
nine points from their first six matches, the last eight seem to have been difficult to achieve for Real Madrid. Their goal now is to obtain as strong a position as possible in the unloading area. The last two matches against Salzburg and Brest are considered winnable, which provides a great opportunity for Los Blancos to advance.
al of the team improved after a painful defeat against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. A 5-2 victory over Celta Vigo secured their place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid’s matches helped them reach the top of the La Liga table after a 4-1 victory over the Palmas.
Madrid now have a distance of seven points from Barcelona, with Atletico their closest competitor. Before facing the Madrid derby in the coming weeks, they have a relatively easy match schedule against Salzburg, Real Valladolid, Brest and Spain.
however, their main goal remains the Champions League. Los Blancos will be strong favorites in this match, especially since they are in an incredible performance scoring in their last 32 home matches in this competition.
their last league defeat came against AC Milan with a score of 3-1, putting them at risk of losing back-to-back matches in this competition for the first time in six years.
in, it will be their first meeting with Salzburg. However, the passionate hosts will hope that the results will be similar to their last meeting against an Austrian club in 1998, when Real Madrid destroyed Stepal Graz with a score of 5-1.
on the other hand, Salzburg had a disappointing season in both domestic and European competitions. They have almost certainly been eliminated from the Champions League and are far behind in the domestic league table.
Salzburg loses by two or more goals without scoring, it equates to a record number of such defeats in a Champions League season now held by Sttap Graz (sixth time).
who is not in his best form, managed to beat Salzburg 3-0 in the sixth match, which led to the confinement of Pep Lijnders. Previously, Salzburg also lost crushingly 5-0 to Bayer leverkusen, 4-0 to Brest and 3-0 to Esparta Praga.
Thomas Letsch now takes on the position of coach, replacing Lijnders. Letsch was already fired by Bochum in April, and this will be his first match as Salzburg coach, with the Austrian league still on winter break until February 9.
-Salzburg needs a little wonder to qualify for the downstream phase. They had to face Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the last two matches, and despite winning, nine points didn’t seem enough to get past them.
Quez will not appear for Real Madrid due to accumulating a yellow card after the Atalanta game, while Dani Carujal is also out due to injuries. Federico Valanici will most likely fill this position, although Aurelien Tchouvik is also an option, although he is believed to be absent in the last match.
Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric, who missed the weekend’s match due to postponement, will return at the halfway point. However, Eduardo Camavinga is still doubtful due to fitness concerns.
Red Bull Salzburg
Salzburg will lose Karim Konate and Maurits Kjaergaard to long-term injuries, while Alexandre Schporter, Bobby Clark (illness), Amar Dedic (spur) and Daouda Guindo (knee spruce) appear in no doubt.
Karim Onisiwo, who has just been recruited from Mainz, is not registered for this competition, although he scored in the last friendly match against building.
Based on the performance of both teams, Real Madrid is in the lead to win this match. With strong motivation to secure a position in the preliminary round and a poor performance from Salzburg, Los Blancos are expected to win with a convinced scoreline. This result will also extend their positive record in the league.
