Levski Sofia vs Red Bull Salzburg prediction

THE FORECAST

Red Bull Salzburg is qualitatively considerably stronger with a solid defensive average (0.8 ga) and three clean sheets, while Levski Sofia has not yet built up statistics in this European competition and furthermore faces a heavy match load: only 4 days rest and after just 2 days another new league match, which promotes rotation and fatigue. Salzburg still has sufficient quality depth despite a significant transfer balance (many outgoing players), and the conditions (neutral weather, dry) do not hinder their pressing style of play. Levski's home advantage does not outweigh the level difference and Salzburg's more favorable match schedule.
