RB Salzburg is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They were embarrassed in their 1st match of the League Phase, losing 3-0 against Sparta Prague, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back with a better performance in their 2nd match and they have been in much better form since that loss as well. They have won their last 2 straight as well as having no losses in their last 3 matches. They have not allowed a goal since that 3-0 loss as well, their defense playing much better, and even their attack has scored 6 goals in their last 2 matches. When playing at home, they have been in much better form this season as they have won 3 of their last 4 matches across all competitions with no losses in that span. They are going up against a Brest side that has been in good form in their recent matches, winning 2 of their last 3, but both of those wins also came at home. They have actually lost 5 of their last 8 matches and all 3 of their wins in that span came at home. When playing away from home, they have lost their last 3 straight matches, scoring just 1 goal in those while allowing at least 2 goals in each and at least 3 goals in each of their last 2. Brest got their 2-1 win over Sturm Graz in their 1st match of the League Phase, but now they are going to be playing a much tougher away match against a good RB Salzburg side that is going to be desperate for points off of their 3-0 away loss on the 1st matchday. RB Salzburg will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
