Team analysis: Salzburg
RB Salzburg enters this match following a promising victory of 1-2 against Pachuca, with goals from Oscar Gloukh and Karim Onisiwo. Currently, the Austrians sit in 1st place in Group H with 3 points. True to their style, Salzburg favours a 4-4-2 tactical system, focusing on patient yet offensive build-up play. The responsibility for disrupting the opponent’s defence lies with the duo Petar Ratkov and Edmund Baidoo. An impressive feature of the team is their strength in the central corridor, their preferred area to launch attacks and break through opposition lines. Unfortunately, they will be without Karim Konaté, Alexander Schlager, Takumu Kawamura, and Moussa Yeo due to injury.
Team analysis: Hilal
Al-Hilal comes into this match following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Real Madrid, with Rúben Neves scoring the lone goal. Currently, the Saudis occupy 3rd place in Group H with 1 point. Generally, they adopt a 4-3-3 formation, employing fast, direct football and seeking to exploit the quick movements of their forwards. In this setup, the attacking trio of Salem Al-Dawsari, Malcom, and Marcos Leonardo are pivotal in the final third. However, the defensive organisation has been less than impressive, making them vulnerable in transitional phases. They will miss Hamad Al-Yami, Kaio César, Moteb Al-Harbi, and Musab Al-Jwayr due to injuries.
