Fully expecting RB Leipzig to beat RB Salzburg 1-0 on matchday 5, this result would mean even if we beat Rosenborg we would then have to beat Salzburg by minimum of 2-0 to qualify. Very possible we could fail to qualify on 12 pts.

Unfortunately the two away defeats have given us a mountain to climb and the permutations of results in the remaining games may well go against us, but another two results and performances like last night will give the players huge belief and help boost and regain confidence after those earlier, disappointing European nights.
No matter what happens in the EL, this past month has seen some of the best performances and quality of football in recent years and BR and the team have been magnificent and long may it continue.

Agree Oab, the football we are playing at the moment is a joy to watch. Just to add to permutations of outcome of group, am I right in thinking a 1-0 Leipzig win in Salzburg guarantees Salzburgs qualification and then Leipzig only need a victory at home to Rosenborg to go through themselves? Hope UEFA keep an eye on the next game in Salzburg 🤔.

I think a 'Red Bull' double is almost a formality to qualify the way the group stands and the fixtures are scheduled; so we may even prioritize the cup final against Aberdeen on Dec 2nd when we face Rosenborg away three days earlier?
The disappointment of non CL qualification and the turmoil within the club in the summer certainly took it's toll on our form and harmony, but the manager and players are really focussed and determined these days; so if we maintain the current excellent standards and clear some dead-wood and add a couple of gems in January, watch us go.

Stevie if Salzburg lose and we beat Rosenberg then a 2 nil victory for us against Salzburg would put us above them.

I don't see Salzburg opening the door to get knocked out themselves to help anyone.

If Leipzig beat Salzburg 1-0,Salzburg would beat them on head to head. Leipzig beat us on head to head. If we beat Salzburg 2-0 we beat them on head to head. We would all finish on 12 points and all won 1 out of 2 head to heads, so would probably go to goal difference, which we have a bit of catching up to do if we want to qualify. Clear as mud.

I don't see Salzburg losing I think they win comfortably against Leipzig it's down to us to win away at Rosenberg. Then we could get away with a draw against Salzburg to qualify.

agree - away win and home draw will do.
