RB Salzburg and Stade Brestois return to action in the UEFA Champions League at the Red Bull Arena on Tuesday. The two sides picked up contrasting opening-day results.
Salzburg were denied a dream start to their continental campaign, falling to a 3-0 defeat to Sparta Prague at Epet Arena.. Pepijn Lijnders’ men bounced back, picking up a draw and two victories, including a 2-0 win over Austria Wien in the Austrian Bundesliga on Saturday.
Salzburg will back themselves to get up and running in the Champions League, as they are unbeaten in eight home games since April.
Meanwhile, it was an unforgettable night for Brestois, as they picked up a 2-1 victory over Sturm Graz in their maiden Champions League game. Hugo Magnetti and Abdallah Sima scored either side of a 45th-minute own goal from Edimilson Fernandes to fire the French outfit to victory at the Stade Francis-Le Ble.
Brest are coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss against Auxerre in Ligue 1, where they are 13th in the table with six points from as many games this season.
