1st Prediction for Red Bull Salzburg vs Stade Brestois 29: Red Bull Salzburg to Win – 1.79 with Betarno
Red Bull Salzburg will be keen to right the wrong of their opening matchday defeat to Sparta Prague with a win in their second League phase match against Stade Brestois. They will have to improve on that display, but I think they can in front of their home fans, and I would expect them to be able to pick up the win against a Brest side who will be playing in just their second ever Champions League match.
2nd Prediction for Red Bull Salzburg vs Stade Brestois 29: Salzburg to Win and Both Teams to Score-3.32 with Myriadplay sports.
As I have already mentioned, I believe Salzburg will win against Stade Brestois. I think the French side will score in Austria however, so it might be worth having a look at the Salzburg to win with both teams to score market. Salzburg have already conceded 13 goals in their 11 matches to date so Brest will certainly fancy their chances of at least scoring in Austria.
3rd Prediction for Red Bull Salzburg vs Stade Brestois 29: Red Bull Salzburg to Score First- 1.53 with No Bonus Sports
I fully expect Red Bull Salzburg to try and make a fast start in front of their home fans when they face Stade Brestois on matchday 2 of this season’s Champions League. For that reason, it might be worth checking out the first team to score market for the game.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-to-Head
Red Bull Salzburg have had a mixed start under new boss Pep Lijnders so far this season. They currently sit 5th in the Austrian Bundesliga with 3 wins,1 defeat and 1 draw in their first 5 League games. They also suffered a heavy defeat to Sparta Prague on matchday 1 of the Champions League.
Stade Brestois kicked off their maiden Champions League campaign with a 2-1 over Sturm Graz on matchday 1. They secured Champions League football for this season with a brilliant 3rd place finish in Ligue 1in 2023/24 and have started the new League year with 2 wins and 3 defeats, to sit 11th after 5 games.
Salzburg will need to bounce back from that defeat to Sparta Prague with a win in front of their fans, or else they could see the rest of their campaign turn into a struggle with some extremely tough fixtures ahead against the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, Paris Saint Germain and the two Madrid clubs.
I expect them to just about do it and get their first win of the 2024/25 Champions League.
