Last updated: Sat 30 September 2023 10:26Maak returns. Surdanovic may be handed a reprieve. Rotation possible. Fridrikas back in training.
Lost 1-0 against Austria Klagenfurt last weekend. A little bit of bad luck, given that they held their own well and few chances were created at either end, but their hosts ended up being more clinical on the day.
Eventually overcame First Vienna 3-2 in the Cup midweek. Named a strong side. Started well, and should have sat on it better than they did.
Key midfielder Surdanovic was benched last weekend whilst they attempt different approaches to solving their form issue. He may return here. Other changes are possible (e.g. Cisse for Frederiksen).
Captain Maak was cleared to return at CB last match but it may have only been mind games as he didn't even make the bench. Should be back here after playing in their Cup match midweek.
Star striker Fridrikas is back in training after injury but is very unlikely to feature. A big loss if he fails, but it would hit harder had they not acquired Frederiksen recently. Injury is threatening to become long-term.
Rotation options Devisate, Berger, and Koc may be omitted.
Red Bull Salzburg
Last updated: Sat 30 September 2023 10:26Baidoo returns, as does Capaldo. Bidstrup has shaken off his knock. Gourna-Douath & Kjaergaard return.
Were humiliated at home by newly-promoted Blau-Weiss Linz last weekend after making too many changes following their midweek trip to Portugal. Looked disjointed, didn't create enough, and lacked composure.
Named a strong side for the Cup match midweek against Austria Salzburg, and ran out 4-0 winners.
Rotation option Omoregie is injured; not a loss. Fellow rotation midfielder Yeo returns.
Young CB Baidoo returned from injury last match, and may start - he's been preferred to any other CBs lately, which could force Pavlovic to the bench.
Attack is now only a slight problem with Fernando having picked up a new injury; unclear how serious but shouldn't be missed - lots of depth. Sucic is back but will find it tough to displace in-form Gloukh; may play in midfield instead, just as he did midweek.
Backup CB Okoh suffered a bad injury in the game against Internazionale, and may not play again in 2023. Young defender Wallner isn't back yet but should be soon; not a problem.
Rotation midfielder Diambou is back in training after injury. Midfield regular Capaldo made his long-awaited return from injury recently. May get another bite at the apple with Kjaergaard potentially starting on the bench following his recent return from injury.
Rotation options Piatkowski, Nene, Kameri, Morgalla, and Koita may be omitted.
Regular CDM Gourna-Douath missed the midweek match through illness but is now back. May be benched ahead of their UCL match next week.
