After failing to make the league phase of the Champions League, Levski Sofia begin their Europa League campaign by hosting Austrian side RB Salzburg at the National Stadium Vasil Levski on Wednesday evening.

Sofia sailed through three rounds of Champions League qualification without losing a game. However, they then came up against an inspired AEK Athens in the final qualification round and fell to a 4-0 aggregate defeat, depsite claiming a creditable 0-0 home draw in the first leg. 

Salzburg's path to the league phase saw them edge out Pafos 4-3 on aggregate before comfortably beating Mjallby of Sweden 4-0 over two legs. After finishing 31st in the league phase last season, Salzburg will be hoping to improve considerably this time around and qualify for their first European knockout game since 2021.

Our Levski Sofia vs Salzburg Prediction

Sofia have looked out of their depth against stronger European opposition in recent years, so whilst Salzburg are hardly an elite European giant, we do think the Austrians will have too much quality for their opponents on Wednesday. 

Salzburg's main strength lies in their attack, which could spell trouble for a Sofia backline that looked all at sea during the 4-0 defeat in Athens. 

Because of those factors, we are backing Salzburg to triumph in a game featuring at least three goals

Our prediction for Levski Sofia vs RB Salzburg is: Salzburg to win and over 2.5 goals. 

Prediction:

 

Salzburg to win and over 2.5 goals
