Player to watch: Moussa Kounfolo Yeo
Moussa Kounfolo Yeo set up the first goal when these teams squared off against each other last week. The Malian midfielder has been nothing short of impressive for Red Bull Salzburg, as he has at least one direct goal involvement in each of his last five appearances for the club. Will that streak continue here?
