Brann travel to the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg for the second leg in the UEFA champions league qualifiers. Thomas Letsch’s team were shocked by the hosts as Sævar Atli Magnusson netted a goal, thanks to a wonderful ball from the keeper Dyngeland who got the assist. The Austrian side quickly took matters into their own hands after half time, as two goals in quick succession from Nene Dorgeles and Karim Onisiwo saw them take the lead. In the dying stages a goal in the 87th minute and 92nd minute saw the game flip and essentially put the tie to bed by the Austrians.
Team News
Salzburg are still without their prolific striker Karim Konate who is still out with a Cruciate Ligament injury. Thomas Letsch also made a change after the team talk in the second half, veteran striker Karim Onisiwo came on for Daghim and changed the game around. He will be set to take Daghim’s place in the team sheet for this fixture. Brann are expected to keep the same XI as last week.
Head-to-Head
The current head to head record for the teams is – 1 Win for Salzburg as they had never faced each other previously before the second leg.
Where the game will be decided
The Austrian side have a 3 goal advantage and are set to play their first home fixture of the season. The Red Bull outfit will surely play to their strengths meanwhile Freyr Alexandersson will have to be creative as his team only managed one shot on target which Sævar Atli Magnusson scored.

It should be an easy win for Salzburg given the circumstances and should see them advance to the next round with no difficulty.
Salzburg 3-0 Brann FC
