Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moskva get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Champions League Group Stage fixture.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Lokomotiv Moskva have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Salzburg form and stats

Salzburg participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the group stage.

Perfect Tipico Bundesliga season at home so far for Salzburg 2 wins from 2 appearances. Salzburg haven’t lost a league-game in 15 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Rheindorf Altach, 232 days ago. Salzburg has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Red Bull Arena. We remember; it was Wolfsberger AC.

Salzburg are returning here after visiting St. Polten in a Austrian Cup game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. A. Vallci, E. Mwepu and André Ramalho scored the goal(s). Before that, Salzburg had a Tipico Bundesliga home game versus Hartberg which ended with a victory 7-1.

The manager J. Marsch will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Austria Wien in only three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Salzburg's 2 home games: 11 goals, 2 conceded.
