On Tuesday night, Red Bull Salzburg and Benfica go head-to-head at the Red Bull Arena in gameweek six of the Champions League.

Red Bull Salzburg

Gerhard Stuber’s team have been in strong form of late, as they are unbeaten in their previous five games in all competitions.

Salzburg’s recent decent run of form has been based on strong defensive displays, as they have kept five clean sheets in five of their last seven games.

The Austrian team are currently in third place in Group D, having taken four points from their five group games.

They have failed to qualify for the competition's knockout stage, but a draw will be enough to drop down into the Europa League.

Salzburg started their Group D campaign with a 2-0 win at Benfica before a four-game winless run in the competition. A 0-0 draw at Real Sociedad in their last game in the Champions League ended a run of three straight defeats.

Benfica

The visitors head to Austria on the back of a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions, having drawn their last three competitive matches.

A 1-1 home draw against Farense last time out was another low-scoring encounter for the Eagles, as three of their previous four games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Benfica’s recent record in the Champions League is poor, as they have taken just one point from their five games in Group D.

A 3-3 draw at Inter last time out in the competition ended a four-game losing run in the Champions League.

It will be hard for Benfica to qualify, as they need to win the game by more than Salzburg's 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Benfica will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter, which is a result that may come too little too late for the Portuguese team's chances of qualifying for the Europa League.
