Salzburg-Twente is a match valid for the first leg of the third preliminary round of the Champions League and is played Tuesday at 8:45 p.m.: stats, lineups, prediction, TV and streaming.
Salzburg and Twente begin their Champions League adventure right from the third preliminary round but in the play-offs – the last hurdle before the single group stage – there will only be room for one. The Austrians are coming off an underwhelming season, in which they were forced to relinquish the scepter of Bundesliga champions after ten years of absolute dominance, failing to retake the surprising Sturm Graz.
A flop that convinced the club to fire coach Gerhard Struber and entrust the bench to Dutchman Pep Lijnders, who has worked closely with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool for the past six years. The new coach was immediately convincing: his Salzburg got through the round in the Austrian Cup by overwhelming Dornbirn 6-0, and on the first day of the league they won 3-2 over GAK, picking up their first three points of the season. The goal now is not to miss qualification for the next Champions League, from which last year the Austrians were eliminated after the group stage, finishing last behind Inter Milan, Real Sociedad and Benfica. Twente, on the other hand, is dreaming of a return to that Champions tasted in passing 14 years ago.
The men led by Joseph Oosting want to capitalize on their excellent third place in the last Eredivisie behind PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord. In attack they are banking on globetrotting striker van Wolfswinkel but have just lost central defender Propper, bought from Rangers. Major disposals at Salzburg as well: gone are two starters Sucic and Pavlovic.
