Levski Sofia – Salzburg Tip Europa League, Matchday 1 on Thursday, 17.09.26 at 18:45 CET
At the start of the new Europa League season, RB Salzburg wants to set an example with a win at Levski Sofia. But how realistic is a successful appearance of the Austrians in Bulgaria?
The fact is that RB is in brilliant form and has not suffered a single defeat in the last 13 games. With 15 goals in the six league games so far, Salzburg have been able to recommend themselves for higher tasks, especially offensively, and are brimming with self-confidence ahead of the duel with Levski.
Accordingly, in my Levski Sofia Salzburg tip, I take aim at the bet “RBS over 1.5 goals” at odds around 1.90 at NEO.bet, especially since the Bulgarians are often overwhelmed against stronger opponents (0:4 against AEK Athens, 2:4 against CSKA Sofia).
Levski Sofia vs. Salzburg AI Predictions:
Of course, our artificial intelligence is also available for the 1st matchday of the Europa League and has more betting alternatives ready for you in the Levski Sofia Salzburg AI prediction. Does the AI see Salzburg in the role of favorites?
The simple answer to this question is: “Yes.” The digital brain selects “Sieg Salzburg” (odds at approx. 2.35). Statistically, of course, this makes sense. Salzburg have not yet suffered a defeat this season and have won six of their last seven games.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Levski Sofia |
Draw | Victory Salzburg |
| 32.7% |
26.7% |
40.6% |
Due to the home advantage, however, the Bulgarians can also be expected to score at least one goal. The betting classic “Both teams to score” is therefore worth considering, even if the odds without an odds boost are “only” around 1.50 and Sofia has failed to score a goal of their own in each of the two previous duels (0:1 twice).
As a risk tip, the AI also recommends the “2:1 for Salzburg”. Of course, this fits perfectly with my own selection and is by no means a far-fetched scenario. However, you should better play the odds of about 9.50 exclusively with a free bet.
