Red Bull Salzburg v Inter Milan Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Red Bull Salzburg v Inter Milan UCL Prediction

The clash at the San Siro in October was the first ever between these two sides, but there may be many more to come in the future. After all, Inter were beaten finalists in last season’s Champions League, while Salzburg have now reached the tournament’s group stages for four successive campaigns.

The bad news for Salzburg is that their form this season has been patchy, both at home and abroad, with just three wins in their last seven Austrian Bundesliga games. They’ve also lost two of their three UCL group games in 2023/24 (including the 2-1 defeat to Inter on October 24th), while underperforming their xG value by 1.4 to highlight a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal.

Inter have fared even worse by this metric, as they’ve only managed to score four goals in this season’s UCL from an expected goals value of 6.6 (which is only bettered by defending champions Manchester City). However, they remain in a rich vein of away form, having only lost one of their previous 14 games on the road in all competitions since March 10th. They’ve also won all five of their Serie A matches on the road in 2023/24, scoring 12 goals and conceding just once in the process.

Ultimately, Inter should have a little too much experience and know-how for their opponents, while the team’s defensive organisation and excellent away form is hard to ignore. So, I’m backing Inter to win in a close and potentially low-scoring game.

1️⃣ RB Salzburg Update

At the time of writing, RB Salzburg are without a staggering nine first-team players, including four key defensive stalwarts. I’ll touch on this further below, but it has undoubtedly contributed to RB Salzburg’s patchy run of form and sequence of three wins, two draws and two defeats in seven Austrian Bundesliga matches. This has seen their lead to the top of the table cut to just two points by Strum Graz, while their impressive 2-0 win at Benfica back on September 20th has since been undermined by consecutive defeats to Sociedad and Inter at the San Siro and left them struggling in their bid to qualify from Champions League Group D.

It may be easier to list which RB Salzburg players are fit to face Inter, with Sekou Koita (pulled muscle), Fernando (muscle injury) and Lukas Wallner (torn ligaments) all unavailable for selection. Justin Omoregi also remains absent with a back injury, while centre back Bryan Okoh has suffered a reoccurrence of his hamstring strain. Elsewhere, left back Aleksa Terzic (adductor injury) and Maurits Kjaergaard (shoulder) are more recent additions to Salzburg’s injury list, while young midfielder Kamil Piatkowski is set to miss out with a calf injury too. Dijon Kameri is a doubt with a thing strain.

2️⃣ Inter Update

Inter currently sit top of Serie A, having won nine (81.82%) of their 11 matches so far and experienced a single, surprise defeat at home to Sassuolo on September 27th. Since this loss, the team is also unbeaten in seven games in all competitions, while last season’s beaten UCL finalists have also been defeated just once in 14 away trips dating back to March 10th. In this campaign alone, they’ve won five and drawn one of their six away games, conceding just two goals during this run and keeping an impressive four clean sheets. So, they’ll arrive in Austria in confident mood and will expect to claim another three points on the road here.

Unlike RB Salzburg, Inter have a largely fully fit squad to choose from ahead of their trip to Austria. More specifically, striker Marko Arnautović is now fully recovered from a thigh injury, leaving just Benjamin Pavard (patellar tendon dislocation) and veteran wing back Juan Cuadrado (tendinitis) as the only confirmed absentees.
