On Wednesday Red Bull Salzburg hosts in the qualification for the UEFA Champions League Omonia Nikosia from Cyprus. The game is played in the Red Bull Arena in Wals-Siezenheim Kickoff is at 20:30 CET and the Referee will be Stefan Johansson from Sweden.
In the 3rd round of the tipp3 Bundesliga Red Bull lost their away game against Rapid Wien on Sunday with 2:1. The Captain from Rapid Wien scored the 2:1 in the extra-time. On Wednesday against Nikosia the Team from Trainer Huub Stevens will win their game to reach the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The winner of the Cyprus Championship Omonia Nikosia will also try to win because the team from Coach Takis Leonis also wants to reach the Group stage. But the Coach also knows that the game against Red Bull will be a tuff one, especially after the draw at home in the first leg.
