Notably, all three sides have experienced managerial changes in the lead-up to the tournament.

Salzburg manager Thomas Letsch acknowledged the challenge this poses for Salzburg’s preparation. “We started studying our opponents early, but the fact that all three have changed coaches adds a layer of uncertainty,” Letsch said. Despite that, the Austrian side are entering the global stage with ambition. They will rely on their energetic, youth-driven system to disrupt the more experienced contenders.
