Preview
Salzburg picked up their first win of the campaign on MD 2 when they beat Lille 2-1 at home.
Adeyemi scored a brace to jump right to the top of the table with 4 points from 2 matches.
They will look to consolidate on the top spot by getting the right result against a Wolfsburg side, who’ve dropped form in recent weeks.
On the other hand, the German side played out a 1-1 home draw against Sevilla in their previous clash and aim to pick up their first win here.

Steffan’s strike was cancelled out by Rakitic as Sevilla eked out a point.
Wolfsburg has dropped off the pace after their brilliant start to the season and will hope to get back before they need to depend on other results.
The German side is in 3rd spot in Group G with 2 points following successive draws.
Van Bommel’s men have lost 3 of their last 5 matches across competitions and are the side under pressure ahead of this clash.

Wolfsburg possible 11:
Casteels, Roussillon, Brooks, Lacroix, Mbabu, Arnold, Baku, Steffan, Philipp, Lukebakio and Nmecha
Prediction: Salzburg 2-1 Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg’s recent drop in form calls for trouble as they have thrown away the advantage created.
After 2 draws, a win is the need of the hour if they sought progression.
Salzburg’s good start to the season and consistent form makes them favourites ahead of this clash and we expect them to edge out the German side.
Players to watch out for: Adeyemi, Sucic, Baku and Nmecha.
