Salzburg vs LASK Linz Prediction & Betting tips
With the introduction of the play-offs, the championship fight should have been more exciting, but despite the halves of points after the basic round Red Bull Salzburg could already early for the sixth time in series to the Austrian champion. Although the lead on the LASK is currently only nine points, but in the points halving the Salzburg points were “rounded” and thus the champion has actually 9.5 points ahead of the LASK. The first game as old and new champion will face the bulls this weekend at home – it comes to the absolute top match between Red Bull Salzburg and the LASK!
The signs of a football festival could hardly be better. Salzburg and LASK are the two teams with by far the biggest teams in the Austrian Bundesliga this season. These performances have spoken beyond the national borders, as both Salzburg coach Marco Rose and LASK head coach Oliver Glasner will be active in the German Bundesliga next season. From a purely sporting point of view, the top match of the 30th match day has no value, because not only the championship of Salzburg is already fixed, but also the vice-championship of the LASK. Accordingly, both teams can play completely free and search the way forward. The start of the game in Wals-Siezenheim is on Sunday at 16 clock.
Red Bull Salzburg:
When Lucas Moura scored the 3-2 victory of his Tottenham Hotspurs against Ajax Amsterdam in the 95th minute on Wednesday night, there were also cheers in the city of Mozart, Salzburg. Red Bull Salzburg are set to play in the UEFA Champions League for the first time next season with almost limitless likelihood. In a final of the young Wilden from Amsterdam Salzburg might have had to compete for the eleventh time in qualifying. This danger is now banned and after more than a decade, the Austrian industry leader will finally hear the Champions League anthem next year.
There were three reasons to cheer for the Salzburg Bulls within just seven days. On the first day of work, on 1 May, the Bulls celebrated a victory over Rapid Vienna in the Austrian Cup competition. On Sunday Salzburg fixed the sixth championship in series with a 2-1 away win at Vienna Austria. The Tottenham win was the icing on the cake of an extraordinary week. Once again, however, there will be a change in summer. The departure of head coach Marco Rose is already fixed, and some players will be looking abroad for a new challenge.
After the fixed championship title Rose wants to take in the last games of the season while no influence on the competition, but also confirmed that the entire squad will still get the opportunity to present themselves. The game against the LASK certainly serves to give some players from the second row a chance, because the second place of the LASK is also secured.
Lask:
The LASK secured the deserved runner-up championship last weekend and will be eligible to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. The participation in the premier class would be the biggest success in the club’s history, but also the Linzer have to cope before a change. The departure of Oliver Glasner is fixed, one or the other actor will also follow in the summer. The Brazilian Joao Victor could be in a few days, the most expensive sale of the club’s history, he will probably follow Glasner to VFL Wolfsburg.
However, this can not be the only million-plus rain for the black and white. If Chelsea win the UEFA Cup final on May 29 against Arsenal, the LASK would also be in the event of a withdrawal in the CL qualifier fixed in the group stage of the Europa League. Otherwise, at least one knockout round would have to be overcome.
The LASK has been able to convince with great offensive football this season and was the only team that could playfully keep up with Salzburg. The Linzer do not need outstanding single players, but have presented over the entire season as a strong-bear collective. The mini-chance of the sensational championship title was squandered by a series of four games without a win (two draws, two defeats). However, second place was never in danger. Most recently, the turnaround with two wins against Sturm Graz and the WAC. Interestingly enough, the LASK is statistically even stronger abroad (2.14 points) than at home (1.80) points.
Sporty, the last three games kenen added value represent more, but also the LASK and especially Oliver Glasner want to complete the season properly. However, a little bit of rotation can not be denied and accordingly it is difficult to forecast the three-way market in the duel between Red Bull Salzburg and LASK.
