Not in your usual spot for Real Madrid v RB Salzburg? Your usual streaming services may not, therefore, be your best friend for this clash.

Real Madrid v RB Salzburg preview
Despite their Champions League glory last season and their even greater embarrassment of riches this time around (hello, Kylian Mbappe), Real Madrid find themselves in a somewhat baffling 20th place in the UCL standings.
They've managed three wins, but have damaged that good work with three losses to match, against Lille, AC Milan and Liverpool.
Despite that, they've been going well as of late, with seven wins out of their last eight in all competitions. Sadly, the one loss was that painful 5-2 defeat to arch-rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, despite the Catalans having goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny sent off midway through the tie.
Thankfully, with a European reputation to keep up, Los Blancos meet a team in RB Salzburg struggling even more. The Austrian energy drink slurpers have managed just one win in the competition so far, against Feyenoord.
They've lost all of their other five meetings against Sparta Prague, Brest, Dinamo Zagreb, Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain, without registering so much as a goal to crack open a can to.
Real Madrid v RB Salzburg: FourFourTwo's prediction
Surely we see Real Madrid climb the table here, don't we? We're going for a 3-0 win for Los Blancos.
