Aston Villa Red Bull Salzburg Tip | Europa League, Matchday 8 on Thursday, 29/01/26 at 21:00 CET
A sports betting bonus is available to you at any time in 2026, but as is well known, you have to be patient for Bundesliga football in the Alpine republic. Meanwhile, not being able to start league operations until February is an additional obstacle for RBS in Europe, no question.
Nevertheless, I don’t think in the context of my Aston Villa Red Bull Salzburg prediction that the Mozartstadt team will be eliminated without a fight. The performance against Basel a week ago was promising and a first sign of a possible surprise at Villa Park.
The Londoners are already qualified for the round of 16 anyway and could let the guests “do it first”. Due to possible rotation, I therefore expect that the courageous selection RBS over 1.5 goals at odds around 3.55 could actually be successful with a little luck!
Aston Villa vs. Red Bull Salzburg AI Predictions:
Our Aston Salzburg AI prediction confronts me right at the beginning with what is probably its strongest suggestion – namely that of a two-team score bet at values around 1.75.
The rate is extremely high for the fact that I also consider this event to be very likely. Villa have conceded at least one goal in five of their last six home games anyway.
And if the Mozartstadt team play as well offensively as they did in their 3-1 win over Basel, then it is actually only a matter of time before the follow-up or opening goal is scored!
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Aston Villa |

Victory Red Bull Salzburg |
| 66% |
19.4% |
14.6% |
However, I have my problems with the AI suggestion to win Aston Villa at odds around 1.45.
It may be that the Mozartstadt team has not been able to win any of their eight European Cup duels against English Premier League teams so far, but the circumstances are extremely favourable this time! Villa will rotate and probably only show 80%!
Last but not least, over 2.5 goals is a suitable addition or alternative compared to my own Aston Villa Red Bull Salzburg tip, which also appeals to me very much. However, the odds of 1.57 on average are not as good as, for example, those for the BTS option.
