Salzburg Form
Salzburg had a disastrous start to the UEFA Champions League group stages, currently sitting in the last place after suffering back to back defeats to Sparta Prague 3-0 and Brest 4-0.
The Bulls also suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Sturm Graz in the Austrian Bundesliga earlier this month, but bounced back after the international break by beating Rheindorf Altach 2-1 at home.
They were behind in that match until 84th minute when Karim Konate found an equalizer, Edmund Baidoo scoring the winning goal two minutes later.
Salzburg are 4th in the Austrian top flight with 16 points from eight matches.

Winger Dorgeles Nene and striker Moussa Yeo are ruled out for this match due to injuries.

Dinamo Zagreb Form
Dinamo Zagreb also had a rough start to the UCL group stages, suffering a humiliating 9-2 defeat to Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena which was one of the main reasons to sack manager Sergej Jakirovic.
They looked much better in the second round, holding favored AS Monaco to a 2-2 draw at home earlier this month. The Blues had a 2-0 lead with Petar Sucic and Martin Baturina finding the net, but conceded twice in the last 15 minutes.
Dinamo Zagreb slipped up in the Croatian HNL last weekend and won just a point against Istra 2-2 and moved down to 3rd place on the table, having four points less than the leaders Hajduk Split.
