Team Analysis
Red Bull Salzburg: Salzburg has been a dominant force in Austrian football, although they finished second last season, ending their era of continuous domestic dominance. Under new coach Pepijn Lijnders, Salzburg has continued to perform well in the Champions League qualifiers, having already eliminated Twente in the previous round. With a solid defense and a potent attack, Salzburg is in prime position to secure a spot in the group stage.
Dynamo Kyiv: Dynamo Kyiv, managed by Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, had a strong showing in the previous round, comfortably defeating Partizan. However, they struggled against Rangers and now face a significant challenge against Salzburg after losing 2-0 in the first leg. The team will need to produce something special to overturn the deficit, but their form has been inconsistent, especially in high-stakes matches.
