Salzburg form and stats

The Salzburg supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Mattersburg in Tipico Bundesliga and win 2-0. In the game before, an away victory in the Austrian Cup match versus Parndorf with a 7-1 scoreline.

Salzburg are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Red Bull Arena with maximum points. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. 14 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Salzburg has won 12 times, drawn 2 and lost 0. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Salzburg has won by at least two goals 7 times when in this position.
