Salzburg - St. Pölten betting tips and odds

With the 1.18 odds on a home win, there’s little doubt that Salzburg will win the match on Sunday. St. Pölten winning would be one of the biggest upsets of the season, but we wouldn’t hold our breaths for that to happen.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and St. Pölten will be left with slim pickings in this match.

An early goal they conceded upset Salzburg’s plans in the last round against Sturm Graz. Despite the fact they played away, Salzburg were given great chances of winning since top bookmakers online saw them as 1.44. However, they failed to recover and suffered a narrow 2:1 defeat in the end.

St. Pölten are coming off from a crushing 0:2 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Austria Wien, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Tipico Bundesliga title.

Salzburg’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Tipico Bundesliga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

St. Pölten’s home stadium have seen a lot of conceded goals recently – 7 in the last 3 games, to be exact. Considering they don’t have home-field advantage this time, most online sportsbooks are giving rather short odds on Over markets.

The two teams already met this season in the Tipico Bundesliga, with Salzburg taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Sunday.
