Austrian champions
Red Bull Salzburg hosts on Wednesday
S.S. Lazio in
Group G of the
UEFA Europa League. The Red Bulls have won all 4 group games so far and leading Group G with the maximum on points. So they need in the home game against Lazio at least a draw to qualify for the knockout stage.
Red Bull Salzburg dominated the UEFA Europa League Group G so far. The Red Bulls have won their 4 group games and are therewith on the verge of qualifying for the round of 32. Salzburg started the group stage with the 2-1 away win in Rome against Lazio followed by a 2-0 at home against Villarreal CF. The two games against Levski Sofia ended both 1-0 for Salzburg. So they need in the home match against Lazio Rome only a draw to advance to the knockout phase. But their previous record at home against Italian sides is negative. Salzburg lost all 4 games against Serie A clubs without scoring a goal. In the national championship the Red Bulls are second, equal on points with league leaders Rapid Vienna. The last Bundesliga round brought a goalless draw in the top game against Rapid.
S.S. Lazio needs in the away part against Salzburg at least a draw to protect their chance in Group G. At the moment they have as well as Villarreal CF 6 points, but the direct duels will see the Spanish club in front. Lazio started with the 1-2 against Salzburg followed by a 4-0 away win over Levski Sofia. The first meeting with Villarreal ended 2-1 for Lazio, but the second leg in Spain ended with a 1-4 defeat. In the national championship Lazio Rome faces rank 15, only 1 point ahead the relegation places. The last round in the Serie A brought a 0-0 at home against FC Bologna.
The first leg between Red Bull Salzburg and S.S. Lazio ended with a surprising 2-1 away win for the Red Bulls. The winning goal scored Marc Janko in the third minute of injury time (93.).
