Real Madrid clinched a crucial 3-2 victory on the road against Atalanta in their previous Champions League outing. This win came at a pivotal time, breaking a streak of two consecutive defeats in the tournament—a 1-3 loss at home to Milan followed by a 0-2 defeat away to Liverpool. Prior to this result, Madrid had struggled on the road, failing to score or secure any points in two away games.
The win puts Real Madrid in 20th place in the overall standings, sitting just two points above the relegation zone. Despite their inconsistency in this year’s competition, the Spanish giants remain strong contenders, with a record of avoiding defeat in 16 of their last 19 Champions League fixtures (12 wins and 4 draws). Over the weekend, they maintained momentum with a commanding 4-1 victory over Las Palmas, reclaiming the top spot in La Liga from Atlético Madrid.
Salzburg, on the other hand, heads into this match following two heavy losses, conceding a combined eight goals. They were dismantled 5-0 by Bayer Leverkusen and then suffered a 3-0 home defeat to PSG. This season, the Austrian side has struggled significantly in the Champions League, losing five matches without scoring a single goal. Their sole win came in a 3-1 away triumph against Feyenoord.
Currently, Salzburg is languishing in 31st place with just three points. A loss in this match would all but end their slim hopes of reaching the playoffs. With only three goals scored in the group stage, Salzburg’s attacking woes are evident, as only Bologna has fared worse with just one goal to their name.
