Real Madrid and Salzburg urgently need points in the table. Forecast, 22.01.25

Mammoth task for Salzburg at Real Madrid

Published on 17.01.2025 23:01.

The defending champions are still struggling enormously with the new Champions League format this year and only occupy 20th place in the table. With just 9 points to their name, they are just 2 points ahead of a non-play-off place. They cannot therefore afford to lose under any circumstances. A win in the home game against Red Bull Salzburg is also firmly on the cards. Salzburg are only 32nd in the table and only have an outside chance of making the play-offs. To do so, the visitors would need a win against the Whites. After 5 defeats from the first 6 games, however, this seems to be hopeless.

Current form Real Madrid

As the defending champions, Real Madrid are of course once again among the big favorites for the title this year. However, their performances so far have not been convincing. A look at the table also shows this, as Real Madrid are currently a long way off the top 8 and only occupy 20th place. They were able to fight their way up a little on the last matchday when they won 3:2 away against Atalanta Bergamo. It was only their 3rd win in 6 games. The other 3 games were all lost. The defeats came against Lille, Milan and Liverpool FC. They are not very stable defensively in particular due to a number of injury worries. They have already conceded 11 goals in 6 games, which is almost 2.00 goals per game. In the last 4 games, they have always conceded at least 2 goals. The Whites have also failed to score on 2 occasions, both times away from home. With a win against Salzburg, they could work their way up the table and reduce the gap to the top 8. On the final matchday, the Madrileneans will then face Brest, who are also a doable opponent.

Bitter setback in the Supercup final

Real Madrid have actually been in good form in recent weeks and have remained unbeaten since December 4th. They have not lost 8 games in a row and have even won 7 of them. In each of these last 8 games, Madrid scored at least 2 goals and 7 times they even managed at least 3 goals. All the more surprising was the weak performance in the Super Cup final against FC Barcelona. After taking the lead at one stage, they ultimately conceded a 2:5 defeat. After winning the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, they missed out on their third title of the season.

Red Bull Salzburg hopes for a respectable success

Salzburg will want to forget the fall of 2024 quickly, as it was the weakest fall in over 10 years. In addition to poor performances in the league, they were hardly able to do anything in the Champions League either. The visitors were completely overwhelmed in almost every game. 5 out of 6 games were lost, including clear defeats against Brest (0:4), Leverkusen (5:0) and Sparta Prague (3:0). The only strong performance came in the away game against Feyenoord Rotterdam, where they won 3:1. With 3 points in their account, they are now 32nd in the table, 5 points behind the top 24, which is why only a win counts for Salzburg. Salzburg will be able to play freely, but will have to improve enormously both offensively and defensively. They have only scored 3 goals in 6 games, all in the win against Feyenoord. In the other 5 games they didn't even score a goal. In addition, they concede an average of 3.00 goals per game. This makes them one of the 4th worst defenses in the Champions League.

Far behind the standard in the Bundesliga

Not only in the premier league, but also in the Austrian Bundesliga, they are falling short of their own expectations. After 16 match days, they are only in 5th place and have a 10-point deficit to Sturm Graz. They are already 10 points behind Sturm Graz at the top of the table. At least they were able to recover somewhat in December and picked up two wins against Hartberg (4:0) and Austria Klagenfurt (3:0). They also drew against Rapid. Despite this slight upturn in form, Salzburg changed coach in the winter and hired Thomas Letsch. He was most recently in charge at VfL Bochum and will now play his first game against Real Madrid.

A clear win for Real Madrid - Our analysis

Real Madrid should be at least 2nd class better than Red Bull Salzburg. The Austrians have also not played a competitive match since mid-December. We would therefore not be surprised by a big win for Real. A handicap bet (0:2) on Real should still be worthwhile with odds of over 1.66. A zero win for the hosts is also more than likely and a betting recommendation.
