Red Bull Salzburg

WWDWWW 📈

Red Bull Salzburg fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 2-1 Bundesliga triumph vs FC Blau-Weiss Linz.

Their more recent scorelines show that there has been much resilience in the Red Bull Salzburg backline. Red Bull Salzburg have been miserly, with the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their last 6 games standing at 3. Historical results aside, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will be replicated in this match.

Ahead of this meeting, Red Bull Salzburg are unbeaten in their previous 7 league matches at home.

Sturm Graz

WLWWDW

Sturm Graz will come into the clash following a 2-0 Bundesliga win as they beat Rapid Vienna in their most recent fixture.

In their last six outings, Sturm Graz have bagged a total of 12 goals. Sturm Graz have additionally got on the scoresheet in every single one of those games. During those fixtures, they’ve seen 8 goals go against them.

Taking a look at their past results, Sturm Graz:

• have not beaten Red Bull Salzburg when they've played them away from home in the last 8 league matches. It has been a terrible run on the road.

↔️ Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head meetings stretching back to 09/02/2024, there has been little to separate the clubs with Red Bull Salzburg winning 2 of those games, Sturm Graz 2 and 2 being drawn after 90 minutes of play.

Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 23 in all at an average of 3.83 goals per meeting.

🗞️ Team News: Red Bull Salzburg

We think that Die Bullen will probably go for a 4-2-2-2 system for this game and select Janis Blaswich, Leandro Morgalla, Joane Gadou, Samson Baidoo, Aleksa Terzic, Nicolas Capaldo, Mads Bidstrup, Nene Dorgeles, Moussa Kounfolo Yeo, Yorbe Vertessen and Adam Daghim.

📰 Team News: Sturm Graz

Sturm Graz manager Jürgen Säumel has not got a full squad to pick from. Emir Karic (Muscle injury), Alexandar Borkovic (Cruciate ligament tear), Seedy Jatta (Ankle injury) and Fally Mayulu (Muscle injury) miss out here.

We are inclined to think that die Schwoazn could decide to utilise a 4-3-1-2 lineup, giving starts to Kjell Scherpen, Max Johnston, Gregory Wuethrich, Emanuel Aiwu, Dimitri Lavalee, Tomi Horvat, Jon Gorenc-Stankovic, M. Junior Yalcouye, Otar Kiteishvili, Tochi Chukwuani and William Boeving.

✨ Prediction

We think that Sturm Graz could well find it tough to break down this Red Bull Salzburg side who we reckon will score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We therefore fancy a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 advantage for Red Bull Salzburg at the end of the match.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
