RB Salzburg vs PSG Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Will Oscar Gloukh be Salzburg’s messiah against a star-studded French giant?

RB Salzburg will host Paris Saint Germain (PSG) this coming Wednesday, in a match of significant importance in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League. The game in question will be “significant” as both teams are staring at certain elimination if they fail to make necessary amends. While Salzburg is currently in the 32nd spot, PSG are in 25th place (one shy of knockout place play-offs) with four points, just a row below defending champions Real Madrid.

Surprisingly both Madrid and PSG are going through a really dark patch presently. Madrid are far from their best while PSG, despite looking good in their domestic league, are finding it hard to replicate the same form in the Champions League this season.

PSG and Salzburg have both just managed to win just one game in the competition and with merely two games in hand it’s a do-or-die situation. Two back-to-back victories here will surely ensure that these two teams make it to the playoffs. However, that would also pave the way for the impending elimination for the losing team.

Bradley Barcola (PSG)

His form in Ligue 1 has unfortunately not carried on with him in the Champions League. As a result, Bradley Barcola is still hunting for his opening goal in this elite competition this season. Touted as one of the most promising players in the world today, Barcola really is a game-changer on his day.

Presently the second-highest goalscorer in Ligue 1 (10 goals) the Villeurbanne native is flexible in any position up front. His speed, acceleration and vision truly set him apart from the rest.
