FC Red Bull Salzburg Team Analysis Danny Röhl's side approaches this domestic fixture sitting comfortably in the upper echelon of the Bundesliga table with an unbeaten domestic record, registering 5 wins and 3 draws. While the "Red Bulls" suffered a bruising 4-0 defeat to AC Milan in the UEFA Europa League in midweek, they have been absolutely flawless in domestic home fixtures, winning all four of their league outings at the Red Bull Arena.
