Best Tip: Salzburg to win

A Europa League win on home turf for Danny Röhl's Salzburg team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest they're in strong form across a number of key metrics, and they should be too strong for their visitors. The odds from the bookmakers suggest the same, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Salzburg win is our recommendation, even if a tight match is possible.
