RB Salzburg are currently the leaders in Austrian Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Julian Nagelsmann’s Bayern are leading the Germany Bundesliga table.
Matthias Jaissle’s side finished in 2nd place in the Champions League group stage, having three wins, one draw, and two defeats. The Bavarians were unbeaten in Group E and entered the next stage with six victories.
“Salzburg are awkward opponents, in a positive sense, who of course play classic RB football, with a lot of high pressing situations. They’re an extremely young team who are very hungry.”
Julian Nagelsmann
RB Salzburg – 10% win
Draw – 12%
Bayern Munich – 78% win
