Salzburg possible 11:
Köhn, Kristensen, Solet, Onguéné, Ulmer, Camara, Sucic, Aaronson, Seiwald, Adamu and Adeyemi
Sevilla possible 11:
Bounou, Augustinsson, Carlos, Koundé, Montiel, Rakitic, Fernando, Jordán, Ocampos, Mir and Gomez
Prediction: Salzburg 1-2 Sevilla
Salzburg is unbeaten in their last 15 home matches ahead of this one and we can expect a packed crowd rallying the Austrian side on.
But Sevilla’s experience of the Champions League cannot be counted out. Hence, we expect a cagey affair to take place.
Since Sevilla hold the edge on current form, we see them nicking this clash.
Players to watch out for: Adeyemi, Adamu, Ocampos and Mir.
