RB Salzburg vs Derby County Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendlies 2025

These teams are yet to face each other.

RB Salzburg are ready to battle Derby County in a pre-season club friendly fixture. The interesting contest between the two sides is all set to take place at the SAK Arena Nonntal.

RB Salzburg will be at home, which will surely count as an advantage. The Austria-based club are coming in after securing a win in their previous match against FK Qarabag, which was also a friendly fixture. They will be looking to extend their winning run here, but it is not going to be an easy battle for them.

Derby County were only able to come up with an overall below-average performance during their EFL Championship 2024-25 season. They now have a chance to step up their game. The team will look to try out different tactics and new faces ahead of the new season.

Kick-off:

• Location: Salzburg – Nonntal, Austria
• Stadium: SAK Arena Nonntal
• Date: Friday, July 18
• Kick-off Time: 21:30 IST/ 16:00 GMT/ 12:00 ET/ 09:00 PT
• Referee: TBD

Players to Watch

Karim Onisiwo (RB Salzburg)

The 33-year-old Austrian forward will have an important role to play in the attacking front for RB Salzburg when they take on the EFL Championship team next. Even though Karim Onisiwo failed to score any goals for his team in his previous game, he is talented enough to cause problems for the opponent’s defence while being in the final third.

Patrick Agyemang (Derby County)

He has been added to the Rams’ squad (once again). The new joinee is going to play an important role in the attacking front for the Championship side. Derby County had to seal a deal with Charlotte FC of the MLS to bring him back.

The 24-year-old recently came up with some noticeable performances for his national team. He is now going to compete for the English club.
