Red Bull Salzburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Red Bull Salzburg have made a name for themselves in recent years, with their smart recruitment strategy widely appreciated, bringing the likes of Erling Braut Haaland and Takumi Minamino to the club.
In Patson Daka and Dominic Szoboszlai, they have their next two stars, and their efforts will be crucial if Red Bull Salzburg are to get a result against Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, will be keen to replicate their treble-winning campaign from last season. The Bavarians have once again begun strongly, and the signing of winger Leroy Sane has made an already impressive attack even more frightening.
Bayern Munich will not find it easy against Red Bull Salzburg, but should be able to get a result in Austria.
Prediction: Red Bull Salzburg 1-2 Bayern Munich
