RB Salzburg vs Real Sociedad prediction 03.10.2023

• Competition: UEFA Champions League
• Date: 3rd October 2023
• Kickoff: 17:45 UTC +1 / 18:45 CEST
• Venue: Red Bull Arena Salzburg

RB Salzburg have been regular participants in the group stage of Europe's most prestigious competition, the Champions League, in recent years. The Red Bulls are participating in the group stage of the competition for the fifth time in a row. Their best spell in that period was the 2021/22 season, when they reached the last 16. Gerhard Struber's men failed to progress beyond the group stage last season, and Group D doesn't look promising either.

Meanwhile, this is Real Sociedad’s only third appearance in the Champions League. Their best spell in the previous two appearances came in 2004 when they reach the round of 16. Imanol Alguacil’s men celebrated their return to the competition after almost ten years with a draw with Inter last week but we expect them to go for all three points this time.

RB Salzburg vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips: Both teams to score

It's hard not to expect goals considering how good both teams are offensively. RB Salzburg failed to score in only one of their last thirteen matches across all competitions, Real Sociedad scored in twelve of their last thirteen games.

The Red Bulls also scored in each of their last nine home games in Europe. Bets on "BTTS - Yes" were a winner six times in that period.

Another reason why we fancy both teams in this fixture is that the previous three encounters between RB Salzburg and Real Sociedad were very entertaining. Averagely, three goals were scored per game and both teams scored in all three games.
