Red Bull Salzburg is going head to head with Roma starting on 24 Feb 2023 at 1:30 IST at Stadio Olimpico, Salzburg city, Austria. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa League, Knockout stage. The Europa League knockout stages get underway on Thursday, when Red Bull Salzburg host Roma in the first leg of the teams’ playoff round tie.
With a place in the last 16 at stake, the Austrian champions will want to take a lead to Rome next week, but their visitors are enjoying some fine form domestically and lifted the Europa Conference League title last term.
To decide the Europa League’s final 16, eight runners-up from the competition’s group stage and those sides that finished third in the Champions League groups will lock horns over the coming week. Then, the draw will pit the winners together with eight seeded teams who have already qualified.
As drop-outs from the latter competition, Salzburg may still feel a tinge of regret about their exit in November, when a last-day victory over Milan would have seen them progress in Europe’s top tournament. Die Roten Bullen resumed competitive football at the start of February, following a long winter break, and even if they still top the Bundesliga standings by six points, recent results have not gone all their way.
Match Details:
- Match: RB Salzburg vs Roma

Roma vs RB Salzburg Prediction
Salzburg won just once in the Champions League this season, at home against Dinamo Zagreb. They have won six times in 22 games against Italian opponents.
Roma won the Europa Conference League last season and will look to do the trick in the Europa League. Jose Mourinho’s men have a decent record against Austrian opponents, winning five of their 12 meetings.
Roma have a slight advantage in term of squad quality and experience and should eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: RB Salzburg 1-2 Roma

Roma vs RB Salzburg Team News
Adhering to the club’s recruitment policy, Matthias Jaissle’s Salzburg squad for Thursday’s clash is particularly youthful – they fielded the youngest starting XI on average in the Champions League group stage (just 22 years and 279 days).
Aged 22, Noah Okafor is among the brightest of them all, and the Swiss striker could partner Junior Adamu up front at Red Bull Arena. The pair are Salzburg’s top scorers this season, though Brazilian forward Fernando and former Manchester United target Benjamin Sesko are in contention too, despite the latter’s lack of form.
Nicolas Capaldo was unavailable to Jaissle at the end of Die Roten Bullen’s Champions League campaign, but may now feature in midfield, while Max Wober departed the club during the winter transfer window so either Bernardo or 37-year-old Andreas Ulmer will start at left-back.
