Latvian champions Liepaja surprised a few by only losing 1-0 in Austria, and now they might just might believe they can pull off a true shock by winning in their own back yard and securing a place in the next round. The bookies don’t fancy the hosts chances though with some offering just 17/2 on a Liepaja win and 2/7 on a victory for Salzburg, who are still huge favourites despite that narrow victory during the first leg. I have to say I’m also expecting a Salzburg victory, but I think we could be in for a really close game with possibly just one goal separating the teams come the final whistle. The hosts already have their domestic season well underway, whereas Salzburg kick theirs off this weekend, and that could just go in favour of Liepaja who should be 100% match fit.
Last weekend marked the first time these two sides ever met, and despite dominating the game Salzburg only walked away with a one goal advantage. The hosts were expected to win by a fairly decent margin and with 70% of the possession and 10 shots on target they probably should have done. The only goal of the game arrived just seven minutes from time, Soriano putting the ball into the back of the net to the disappointment of the away fans.
