Austria Vienna vs Red Bull Salzburg Prediction: A blockbuster Sunday expected

This round 14 Austria Bundesliga match will take place at Generali Arena and will feature Austria Vienna playing host to Red Bull Salzburg. The club that will be playing at home is on a roll coming into this match, while the traveling side is coming off a loss in the Champions League against Inter Milan. 

After beating Austria Lustenau 1-0 in the Bundesliga, Austria Vienna is looking to add another victory to their collection. During that game, Austria Vienna had 73% possession of the ball and 8 shots on goal, with only 2 of them finding the back of the net. Alexander Schmidt was the one to put the ball in the back of the net for Austria Vienna in the 89th minute. On the other hand, Austria Lustenau had five shots on goal, but only two of them were successful in hitting the target. In five of the last six matches that Austria Vienna has been a part of, the total number of goals scored was lower than three per game on average. With reference to the goal differential during this period, their rivals scored a total of zero goals, while Austria Vienna was able to rack up a total of nine. Prior to this matchup, Austria Vienna had not defeated Red Bull Salzburg in any of their previous 17 league encounters.

Red Bull Salzburg will be looking to make amends for their defeat in the Champions League match they played against Inter Milan in their most recent match. They will be playing this game with the intention of winning. During that game, Red Bull Salzburg had a 50 percent possession rate and 14 shots on goal, with four of them finding the back of the net. Their competitors from Inter Milan had 17 shots on goal, but only six of them were on target. Lautaro Martnez scored a goal in the 85th minute to give Inter Milan the lead. The Red Bull Salzburg defense has turned in a string of solid performances, which has led to a reduction in the number of goals they have let up over the course of their most recent six matches, which brings the total to just four. During the same time span, their own offensive unit was successful in scoring seven goals. When we take a look at their historical results, we see that Red Bull Salzburg has not been defeated by Austria Vienna when they have played them outside of their home stadium in any of the eight most recent encounters in the league. In addition, the visiting team has not tasted defeat in any of their past 22 league matches played away from home.

Red Bull Salzburg have a good roster, but given the form that Austria Vienna are riding on, it is difficult to bet against them at this point in the competition. In this match, however, we should see a lot of offensive play from both teams in a contest that should conclude in a draw.
