Salzburg - Rapid Wien predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Rapid Wien are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Salzburg should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating Salzburg on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

They might have been the 1.65 favourites to claim what was expected to be an easy victory, but Salzburg got more than what they hoped for last time out. They still managed to earn a halt-time lead and do the job in the end by securing a narrow victory.

Having conceded early in the match, Rapid Wien trailed at the halftime of their previous league match against Austria Wien but did nothing to get back in the game after the break. In the end, a heavy 1:3 home defeat is bound to leave a dent in their confidence ahead of the Sunday clash.

Salzburg leave quite the impression whenever we see them play in front of their fans at Red Bull Arena. They scored more than 5 goals in total the last 3 times they did so, which is a solidly impressive record.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Rapid Wien have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

This matchup was very one-sided last season, and most bookies are expecting Salzburg to continue their spree of dominance. They won against Rapid Wien more than once, and even managed to record a solid goal difference in each instance.

This Sunday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
