⚡ Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Red Bull Salzburg are likely to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
In contrast, Rapid Vienna may well find it hard to break down their defence although we do see them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.
We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Red Bull Salzburg at the end of this one.
