RB Salzburg will entertain Brann at Red Bull Arena Salzburg in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round on Wednesday. The Red Bulls registered a comfortable 4-1 away win last week and are strong favorites to progress to the next round.
The hosts continued their winning run in the Austrian Cup first round on Saturday and registered a 4-0 away win over third-tier side Dietach. Nene Dorgeles broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute while Petar Ratkov bagged a second-half brace. New signing Kerim Alajbegović scored his first goal for the club in the 90th minute.
Brann have won just one of their four games in July. Their 4-1 home loss in the first leg was their second consecutive loss, and they will look to bounce back here.
