Red Bull Salzburg and SK Brann meet on July 30, 2025, for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie at Red Bull Arena in Salzburg. The hosts hold a commanding 4–1 aggregate lead after a comeback win in Norway. Brann had led 1–0 at halftime, but Salzburg scored twice shortly after the break and added two late goals to secure a three-goal cushion.
Salzburg aims to reach the Champions League group stage for the seventh straight season. Though they finished second domestically last season, they started the new campaign in strong form, winning both of their competitive matches so far.
Salzburg's depth and second-half fitness advantage showed in the first leg. Brann, midway through their domestic season, is experiencing a dip in form, going 2-1-3 in their last six across all competitions and dropping two straight matches.
Brann had their domestic league match postponed last weekend to focus on this tie but face long odds to overturn the deficit. Salzburg is expected to rotate their lineup slightly, given the advantage, while Brann plays for pride and a spot in the Europa League qualifying round should they be eliminated.

Our Salzburg vs SK Brann Prediction
Salzburg scored four goals through four different players in the first leg. Nene Dorgeles and a substitute turned the tide early in the second half. Yorbe Vertessen and Maurits Kjærgaard added late goals. Kjærgaard has been a midfield standout, while veteran Karim Onisiwo also scored with a header. Creative midfielder Oscar Gloukh added an assist, and right-back Stefan Lainer contributed another.
Karim Konaté, Moussa Yeo, and Takumu Kawamura remain out injured. Despite those absences, Salzburg’s bench has delivered. Brann’s lone goal came from Sævar Atli Magnússon, assisted by Eivind Fauske Helland. Brann is missing Niklas Castro, Sakarias Opsahl, Jonas Torsvik, and Fredrik Knudsen due to injuries. Despite solid efforts from Helland and Magnússon, Brann’s defense collapsed late in the first leg.
Salzburg is heavily favored to win at home. With rotation likely and the tie nearly settled, Brann may score, but Salzburg’s quality and depth should secure another win. Our prediction for Red Bull Salzburg vs. SK Brann: Salzburg to win and advance to the next round.
