RB Salzburg vs. AC Milan 9/6/22 UEFA Champions League Soccer Pick, Predictions, Odds

RB Salzburg and AC Milan face off on Tuesday in a Group E UEFA Champions League showdown at Red Bull Arena Salzburg. 

AC Milan currently sits in 2nd place in Serie A having picked up 11 games in five games so far this season. In the last game against Inter, AC Milan’s offense looked excellent, and that led to the victory. Rafael Leao was the difference maker, scoring two goals, and he paced the team to a 3-2 victory. AC Milan only had 47 percent of the possession, but they had five shots on goal, and it was enough to secure the win. AC Milan isn’t expected to make a lot of changes to the squad that was able to win over the weekend. If there are some changes made, I would expect Brahim Diaz or Alexis Saelemaekers to be moved into the starting lineup.

On the other side of this matchup is RB Salzburg, and they sit in 1st place in the Australian Bundesliga having picked up 18 points in seven games. In the last game against WSG Tirol, RB Salzburg was able to secure the 2-0 victory. They had 21 shots total and 11 shots on goal, and there wasn’t really any doubt they were going to secure the win. So far this season they have scored 18 goals while they have given up three goals. Fernando and Noah Okafor have both scored four goals so far this season. 

I really like the way that RB Salzburg’s defense has looked this season, and they are going to make it a huge problem for AC Milan’s defense. This is a game where AC Milan might struggle to even get on the board. Look for RB Salzburg to find the back of the net a few times, and RB Salzburg will secure the win.
