Salzburg fields a balanced squad with young prospects and proven performers, especially in attack. Injuries or suspensions are not explicitly listed, so anticipate both teams to leverage their key players, especially Salzburg's attacking lineup.

Expect Salzburg to dominate possession and look for opportunities on the counter, exploiting space behind Mjallby’s high defensive line.
