Austria Wien - Salzburg predictions

Austria Wien have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Salzburg. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Salzburg should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.17, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

This game’s hosts are coming on the back of a narrow HT/FT victory in their most recent away game. They were facing Wattens, who were largely considered underdogs despite playing at home. Either way, Austria Wien were already leading at the 45-minute mark and tuned the lead into an encouraging 2:3 victory.

Last round was rather disappointing for Salzburg, who were favourites in a home game against Rheindorf Altach. Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their Salzburg’s ability to press the advantage. In the end, a 2:2 draw was nothing to be proud about.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Tipico Bundesliga matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

Last season, we saw this match’s visiting team beat out Austria Wien multiple times. To make this head-to-head history even more conclusive, each of these victories was quite decisive. All in all, it’s not a good match to try your luck with.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.72 odds offered at Pncl.
