An important game is being played in UEFA Champions League Group E between Red Bull Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb. After two games Salzburg is the third-best team with two points but Zagreb sits as the second-best team with three points. Salzburg has been playing well lately as in the last 11 games team has won seven games and drew four.

So far this tournament both teams have scored two goals while Salzburg has conceded two but Dinamo - three. If we look at xG stats then a little advantage goes to Salzburg as on the home ground their expected goal rating is 1.62 but for Zagreb away games rating has been 1.31. Yes, Dinamo beat Chelsea a few weeks ago but Salzburg split the points with Chelsea in London and that in my opinion is more impressive.

No new injuries appeared during the international break and this is good news for Salzburg. Fernando is going to be still out with a muscle injury but Benjamin Sesko, the second-best scorer on the team this season, had a goal and assist for his motherland Slovenia. On tier has been Noah Okafor who has scored seven goals in 13 games.

Dinamo clearly feels more comfortable on home soil and their away form in the UCL group stages isn’t good. Their last away win was way back in November 1998, and since then they have lost 16 in 19. Salzburg has been difficult to beat on home soil in the Champions League, as they are unbeaten in six games, having recorded four wins and two draws.

Teams are going to meet also next week. This is a great opportunity for Salzburg to build momentum in order to qualify for the next round although no one expects them to qualify as Milan and Chelsea are in this group and this is good for Salzburg as they won't feel any pressure. This could be a high-scoring game but in the end, Salzburg should be able to secure a victory as overall they are just a better team.

欧洲冠军联赛E组的一场重要比赛将在萨尔茨堡红牛和萨格勒布迪纳摩之间进行。两场比赛后，萨尔茨堡以2分排名第三，而萨格勒布以3分排名第二。萨尔茨堡最近踢得很好，在过去的11场比赛中，球队取得了7胜4平的成绩。

到目前为止，两支球队都进了两个球，萨尔茨堡丢了两个球，迪纳摩丢了三个球。如果我们看看xG的数据，那么萨尔茨堡会有一点优势，因为他们在主场的预期进球率是1.62，而在萨格勒布的客场比赛的预期进球率是1.31。是的，迪纳摩在几周前击败了切尔西，但是萨尔茨堡在伦敦和切尔西平分了积分，在我看来这更令人印象深刻。

国际比赛日期间没有出现新的伤病，这对萨尔茨堡来说是个好消息。费尔南多仍将因肌肉伤势缺阵，但本赛季球队第二射手本杰明·塞斯科为他的祖国斯洛文尼亚打进一球并提供助攻。排名第一的是诺阿·奥卡福，他在13场比赛中打进7球。

迪纳摩显然在主场感觉更舒服，他们在伦敦大学联赛小组赛的客场状态并不好。他们上一次客场取胜要追溯到1998年11月，从那以后，他们在19场比赛中输了16场。萨尔斯堡在欧冠的主场很难被击败，因为他们已经6场比赛保持不败，取得了4胜2平的战绩。

双方下周也将会面。这对萨尔茨堡来说是一个很好的机会，可以为下一轮的出线建立势头，虽然没有人认为他们能出线，因为米兰和切尔西都在这个小组，这对萨尔茨堡来说是件好事，因为他们不会感到任何压力。这可能是一场得分很高的比赛，但最终，萨尔茨堡应该能够确保一场胜利，因为总体上他们是一支更好的球队。
