The season is still fairly new and the UEFA Youth League table has to be read with caution. So far Salzburg U19 find themselves in 2nd position and Liverpool U19 are placed 1st.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Salzburg U19 form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Salzburg U19's two home games in the UEFA Youth League so far this season, having collected 4 points. The Salzburg U19 fans aren't used to losing here and will expect new points from this game. Salzburg U19 has played eleven games in a row here without a defeat.
A good away victory last time out for Salzburg U19, who won 2-0 against Genk U19 (placed 3rd). A strong away win before that one, visiting Napoli U19 and winning 5-1.
Early season league goal statistics from Salzburg U19's 2 home games: 8 goals, 3 conceded.
Liverpool U19 form and stats
Liverpool U19 are still undefeated on their travels in the UEFA Youth League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Liverpool U19 won their last game, 7-0 versus Napoli U19 played at home. A loss against Genk U19 was the result prior to that, in a home game.
As mentioned above, Liverpool U19 was the only team on the pitch versus Napoli U19 in their previous game, winning 7-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention C. Jones's lethal finishing against Napoli U19. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
3 goals so far away for Liverpool U19, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.
