On the back of contrasting results on the fourth matchday of the 2024-25 Champions League, Bayer Leverkusen and Red Bull Salzburg cross paths on Tuesday evening in their latest European affair.

Bayer Leverkusen: 

After suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in their last Champions League outing, Xabi Alonso’s side will be eager to bounce back on home soil. Despite the loss at Anfield, Die Werkself had a strong start to their European campaign, collecting seven points from their first three matches. Leverkusen's domestic form is on the up after a resounding 5-2 victory over Heidenheim, with Patrik Schick’s hat-trick sparking optimism. The German side remains unbeaten at home in all competitions since August, and their impressive 11 European wins since the 2023-24 season underline their strong continental pedigree. With Alonso’s tactical acumen and a squad brimming with attacking talent, Leverkusen will be confident of securing three points.

Red Bull Salzburg: 

Pep Lijnders has faced a challenging start to his tenure with Salzburg, but the 3-1 win over Feyenoord provided a much-needed boost in the Champions League. However, their domestic struggles continue, with losses to Blau-Weiss Linz and LASK Linz keeping them far from the summit of the Austrian Bundesliga. Salzburg will need to build on their European success and address their domestic woes if they are to challenge in this year’s Champions League. Their record against German sides has been inconsistent, and with Leverkusen’s formidable home record, Lijnders' youthful squad will have their work cut out. Salzburg will need a strong performance from their key players, such as Benjamin Sesko and Noah Okafor, to stand a chance in this tough fixture.
