Analysis and prediction for the match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League “Red Bull Salzburg” – “Twente” (06/08/2024)
The 70th edition of Europe’s premier club competition is underway. Teams that did not qualify directly have the chance to qualify. Seven Champions League third qualifying round matches will be played on 6 August. Salzburg will host Twente in the last of these at the Red Bull Arena.
Salzburg finished second at the end of last season. This is the first time in the last 10 years that a team has failed to win the Austrian championship. A change of coach took place in the summer. The position was taken by Jurgen Klopp’s former assistant, Pepijn Lijnders.
The Dutch specialist worked with the German for many years. Together they won everything possible, in particular the English Championship and the Champions League. Lijnders has learned a lot from Klopp and is now ready to unleash his full potential as a coach.

Leinders had a great start to his new career. Under his guidance, the Red Bulls defeated Dornbirn (6-0) in the Austrian Cup and also beat Grazer in the national championship 3-2. They showed beautiful, bold and attacking football.
Salzburg’s leaders performed excellently, in particular last season’s top scorer in the Austrian Championship, Karim Konate. He scored three goals in the last two matches. The striker has already regained his excellent form and is ready to lead the team into the group stage of the Champions League.
This is somewhat unfair to Twente. The fact is that the Tukkers have not played a single competitive match in the new season. They only played five friendly matches, four of which ended in a draw.
Twente finished last season in third place in the Dutch league table. This is a very good result, considering that in winter the club parted ways with one of its most productive players, Manfred Ugalde. The Costa Rican moved to Spartak Moscow.
There were rumours that Twente supervisory board member John Birling had resigned in disagreement with the striker’s move to the RPL side. The club denied this report, but the coincidence seems suspicious. In any case, the Tukkers lost a valuable player.
To replace Ugalde in the summer, Twente acquired on a limited budget an experienced striker who managed to play for several top European clubs: Sam Lammers. The acquisition is a good one, but the striker will surely need time to adapt to the new club. We probably shouldn’t expect an outstanding performance from him in the next match.
You can bet on Salzburg’s victory in the match against Twente and the total over 1.5 goals at bookmakers with a rate of 1.90. The Tukkers have much less experience playing on the international stage. In the last 10 seasons, they have only participated in European competitions twice. In both cases, they played in the Conference League and failed to make it past the group stage.
The Red Bulls have established themselves as Champions League regulars. The team has repeatedly demonstrated the presence of a core, not only taking on very strong opponents, but also beating them. With Leinders, they are capable of great things.
Prediction and betting tips for the Champions League qualifying match Red Bull Salzburg – Twente on August 6, 2024
The teams are approaching the match in different conditions. Salzburg have already played several competitive matches, have gotten used to the new coach a little and have started to adapt to the season. “Twente” strengthened well in the summer, but there was neither time nor opportunity to experience a specific strengthening. The Tukkers are much less successful on the international stage than the Red Bulls. They cannot avoid defeat on the road.
Tender: Salzburg win and total of over 1.5 goals in 1.90.
