Europa League preview: Salzburg is not afraid of the Eredivisie, the forward Eagles have lost 11 of their 13 away games in Europe
6686 Sports News on November 6th, Beijing time at 1:45 am on the 7th, in the fourth round of the Europa League, Austria Salzburg will play at the home team against the Dutch Eredivisie team Advance Eagles.
The current situation of the home team
Red Bull Salzburg lost all its first three games in the league stage, losing to Porto, Lyon and Hungary Ferenc. The current situation is not optimistic. However, European media analysis pointed out that this was mainly because the team faced many strong opponents from mainstream leagues in the early stage, and the team general also firmly believed that he could get out of the predicament. Recently, Sporting Salzburg's state has rebounded. They have won 2 consecutive games and scored 7 goals in the last 2 league games. Currently, Salzburg ranks first in the Austrian League. They also hope to rebound in the Europa League and at least qualify for the knockout rounds through the play-offs.
The biggest worry for the Austrian team at present is the large number of injured players. Among them, two players were injured at the forward position, and four players were tired at the central midfielder position. The injured are concentrated in certain positions, and some players who played a role in the league (such as Japanese foreign aid Zeiss) are restricted by the Champions League rules and cannot register. This makes the coach stretched.
Away team's recent situation
As the Dutch domestic cup champions last season, the Forward Eagles were able to participate in the European war for the first time in the new century - the 21st century. They have played in the European war qualifying rounds twice before, and were eliminated in the first round of qualifying. In the first three rounds of the Europa League this season, the Advance Eagles performed well, defeating Panathinaikos and Aston Villa, and are currently ranked 12th with 6 points.
However, the Forward Eagles' relatively thin lineup still has an impact on the multi-line operations. The team has been in a sluggish competitive state in recent league matches. In the past five rounds of the Eredivisie, it has only won 1 game (1 draw and 3 losses). In addition, the statistical agency emphasized that in the 122-year history of the team, the Forward Eagles have only participated in European competitions in 7 seasons (including the International Toto Cup). So far, the team has played a total of 13 away games in European competitions (including qualifying matches), with a record of 2 wins and 11 losses. This season, the team defeated Panathinaikos as an away team in the second round of the Europa League. This is the team's only 1 European away team victory in 46 years.
Game record
The two teams have never had a formal competition in history. The statistical agency emphasized that Salzburg has not been afraid of Eredivisie teams in history, excluding friendly matches. The team has played 13 games with 4 different Eredivisie teams including Ajax, Twente, Feyenoord, etc. in the European competition. The team has an advantage of 6 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, including 6 home team games. Salzburg even won 4 games (1 draw and 1 loss).
