Bologna FC and RB Salzburg will meet on Thursday night in an exciting Europa League group game at Renato Dall’Ara. Bologna started their campaign slowly with a 1-0 win against Aston Villa. They, however, bounced back to secure five points from their last three games. The Italians will be gutted not to have won their most recent game against Brann at home, a game in which they played with 10 men for 70 minutes. A loss could see the drop outside the playoff positions.
Salzburg, on the other hand, could crash out of the playoff running if they lose in Italy on Thursday night. The Austrians have been unconvincing in this competition, starting their campaign with three straight losses. However, they bounced back with an impressive 2-0 win against Go Ahead Eagles, keeping their playoff dreams alive. This result leaves them 28th in the standings with three points, just five points behind Bologna, who occupy the final playoff spot.

Our Bologna vs Salzburg Prediction
Bologna will come into this matchup as the moneyline favorites. They’ll be eager to win and climb higher in the standings as the competition enters a crucial stage. However, the Italians have failed to capitalize on their two home games in this competition. They have dropped points against Freiburg and Brann, scoring just one goal in the process. The home side must have a plan to contain Salzburg attackers, who have scored in each of the last eight matches. RB Salzburg’s win before the international break should give them renewed belief that they can make the playoffs. We think they could force a 1-1 tie.
Our prediction for Bologna vs Salzburg: Both teams to score.
