The Black Stars midfielder Forson Amankwah will try to secure an away victory for RB Salzburg at the start of their Champions League campaign in Lisbon.
His club RB Salzburg will face the Portuguese giants at Estadio Da Luz on Wednesday, 20:45 CET.
Although Benfica has showcased a strong performance in the Portuguese league ahead of the start of the Champions League RB Salzburg will do their best to disappoint the Portuguese giants.
After an initial setback against “Boavista,” Roger Schmidt’s team won four consecutive matches in Primeira Liga, scoring nine goals in those encounters. However, their defense showed vulnerabilities twice in this series, which the attacking RB Salzburg could potentially exploit.
In 4 out of 5 matches of the new season, Benfica has produced goal-filled outcomes, while RB Salzburg has played over 2.5 goals in 5 out of 8 matches. I believe there are ample opportunities for the upcoming match in Lisbon to continue this trend.
In this match, we might see the talented midfielder Forson Amankwah take to the field. Notably, in August, he made a significant impact in the 2023/24 Austrian Bundesliga season.
Amankwah, a skillful left-footed midfielder, found the back of the net in Red Bull Salzburg’s 2-0 win over Austria Vienna, further solidifying his team’s position at the top of the league table.
Since his return from loan to SC Rheindorf Altach last season, Amankwah has emerged as one of the key players for Salzburg. He has already started in all three games for Salzburg this season and scored his first goal of the campaign, displaying his ability to connect well with a cutback from Mads Bidstrup during Sunday’s fixture.
The odds for Forson Amankwah to score in the match, as offered by the bookmaker Bwin, stand at 15.
The Nigeria international transfer value according to Transfermarkt is €6 million.
