Champions League

The line-up: How Salzburg start at Feyenoord

Here it is, the starting line-up with which Red Bull Salzburg coach Pepijn Lijnders will be looking for success in today's Champions League clash with Feyenoord!

The line-up:

The mood could be much better - Red Bull Salzburg go into tonight's Champions League match at Feyenoord Rotterdam with a dismal record, little self-confidence and major personnel worries. While the Dutch side led by ÖFB team player Gernot Trauner are aiming to take another step towards the play-offs, the Bulls' dream of promotion could be shattered at half-time. Coach Pep Lijnders, however, sees the "glass half full".

"A soccer temple, the biggest stadium in the Netherlands!"
After the 0:4 start against Bayer Leverkusen, Feyenoord booked six points against Girona (3:2) and Benfica (3:1) on their premier class account, while Salzburg have a clean sheet after three games - and a disastrous goal difference of 0:9. Things are not looking much rosier in the league for the former Austrian serial champions either. They have failed to score in four of their last six league games and have picked up just 9 points out of a possible 18 - most recently they were almost relieved with a 0-0 home draw against bottom club GAK. Feyenoord, on the other hand, have won seven of their last nine competitive matches (one draw, one defeat). The current fourth-placed team in the Eredivisie are waiting with a broad chest.
