RB Salzburg VS Feyenoord Match Prediction

RB Salzburg face off with Feyenoord for the very first time in this friendly match.  

RBS vs FEY Betting Tips and Odds

RB Salzburg come into this, the third match of their preseason, having started slowly.  That shouldn’t be a huge worry, though, since they have looked so good in previous seasons.  They won last year’s Austrian Bundesliga title by a rather large margin, and they thus are in the Champions League group stage.  They will have three more matches before kicking off their season with a trip to Vienna to face Rapid.

Feyenoord comes into their fourth preseason encounter in this match.  They have started fairly well, though it is early days.  They won the Dutch Eredivisie title in 2016/17, but they suffered a downturn last season by finishing in a distant third behind Ajax and PSV Eindhoven.  They did make it to the Europa League, though they still will have to fight through the third qualifying round and the play-off round in order to get to the group stages.

RB Salzburg vs Feyenoord Prediction

Salzburg have a lot of very good, underrated attacking players that just keep coming through the pipeline.  One of them is bound to have a good day in front of goal and carry them to a victory.

Feyenoord Key Man

17 year old striker Marouan Azarkan will have given Feyenoord a ton of hope with his showing recently as he bagged a pair of second half goals in the win over Dordecht in a friendly.  It’s early days, but in the Netherlands it’s always possible for a youngster to develop very quickly from nobody to a big name.

These two sides are very even on paper, and that means it's tough to separate them for this particular fixture. Salzburg are almost always good, at least here lately in Austria, and Feyenoord have come back down off a high from a couple of years ago. Because of that, you have to like the Austrians' chances to take down Feyenoord here.

RB Salzburg have been crowned Austrian Bundesliga winners six time in a row.
