Dortmund vs Salzburg – Europa League

Even if you do not put a duel of big names on the pitch, the tie between Borussia Dortmund and RB Salzburg

It may be the most interesting of this round of the Europa League. The moment of Dortmund is not one of the happiest and the set of Salzburg will be far from being a very recognized team, but the game ideas of each of the teams can boost that interest and competitiveness reserved for the big meetings. In addition, putting teams from Germany and Austria on the field, there is a sense of derby in the air.

Borussia Dortmund are struggling to secure second place in the Bundesliga. Having a huge competition for the first four places of the competition, the main focus of the mining team is not only the millions of Champions League, but above all by maintaining the status of a team that follows in the wake of Bayern Munich, who dominates everything that happens in German football.

This status, which is disputed this season, is in danger of being lost as Borussia come in a series of three draws, one of them in the Europa League, against Atalanta, others in the league, against Augsburg and RB Leipzig.

Prediction Dortmund vs Salzburg:

For the whole of RB Salzburg, the Austrian championship has been a ride that little or nothing launches in terms of competitiveness for this set.

With the success achieved in the UEFA Youth League and a very consistent work plan in the selection and evolution of the talents that they bring to the bosom of their group, the Austrian champion has had in the main test of UEFA his objective.

Still, this way of affirming a team from a secondary country in the Champions League rankings is very demanding, so success in the Europa League can give an image of desired consistency.

The elimination of Real Sociedad could contribute to this, but overtaking Borussia Dortmund would give even greater force to the Austrians’ plan.
