Preview
Brondby IF could not hold on to their lead in the first leg as they lost 2-1 against Salzburg at the Red Bull Arena last Wednesday.
Also read: Uhre broke the deadlock for the visitors before 2 second half goals from Adeyami and Aaronson secured the comeback win for Salzburg.
This was followed by a 2-2 draw against Odense in the Superligaen where Uhre’s brace was cancelled out Sabbi and Lieder’s second half goals.
Brondby IF are in 9th place in the Superligaen with this draw having yet to win their first match of the season.
On the other hand, Salzburg would be buoyed by the comeback win and will look to seal their place in the UEFA Champions League finals draw, which is set to take place on August 26th.

Prediction: Brondby 1-3 Salzburg
Both sides will aim to maximise this final opportunity at the chance to play amongst the best in the Champions League.
But with no form against their name, we see Brondby IF miss out this season. They are winless in their last 5, not capable of clean-sheets.
Salzburg are favourites to seal their spot in the Champions League as they pose a better and in-form squad at the moment.
Players to watch out for: Uhre, Hedlund, Adeyemi and Aaronson.
