✨ Prediction

Red Bull Salzburg will most probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the other end, Rapid Vienna won’t find it easy getting on the scoresheet although we do reckon that they could well end up seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Red Bull Salzburg at full-time.
