Wolfsburg vs Salzburg: Will the Wolves get revenge on the Bulls?

Germany’s Wolfsburg travel to face Austria’s Salzburg in round 4 of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The Austrians beat the Germans 3-1 on Matchday 3 at home. Let’s see if the Wolves can take revenge on the Bulls for their defeat two weeks ago.

The change of coach has already borne its fruit. On the last matchday of the German Bundesliga, the Wolves beat Bayer 2-0 away. And before that, Wolfsburg had a three-match losing streak. Except for the defeat against the Austrians, the Wolves lost to Union and Freiburg. Before the start of the fourth round of the Champions League, Wolves are at the bottom of the Group G standings, with two points. That said, the Wolves have a good chance of making the playoffs. Sevilla are in the second position and just one point better. The only thing definitely on the downside of betting on Wolfsburg is Kohfeldt’s lack of experience in the Champions League. Let’s see how the young German copes with the task at hand.

After beating Wolfsburg, Salzburg played three games in the national league. They knocked St. Pölten out of the Austrian Cup, ended up stronger than Sturm in the domestic league, and settled for a draw with Ried. Salzburg are in good order in the Austrian league, with 35 points after 13 rounds and 12 points against their nearest pursuer, Sturm. The Austrians are also in the lead in the Champions League, with a four-point handicap over Sevilla.

For Kohfeldt, the first game wasn’t bad. The Wolves without Weghorst beat Bayer away, who, however, are not shining after the break. Salzburg are unlikely to be stronger, and the match ahead is a home one, the first home one for Herr Florian. Of course, the Greens and Whites will try not to lose with the new coach. It wouldn’t hurt to think about revenge, either. 1-3 in Austria was very confident, as they say, with no chance for the Wolves. Strategically, a draw in the upcoming game will also suit Salzburg. If that’s the case, and should Sevilla win against Lille, the Austrians will essentially be one step closer to the playoffs. We think that the Germans are more motivated than the Italians, so here are the following bets: 1X+Total Over (1.5) for 1.87, Handicap 1 (0) for 1.83, W1 for 2.35.
