Salzburg vs Austria Vienna Prediction & Betting tips
Runs at Red Bull Salzburg! In the Bundesliga this season is the measure of all things, qualified in the ÖFB Cup in the semifinals and on Thursday for the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where now in the round of the last eight with Lazio Rome an attractive, but perhaps not the over-enemy waiting. Austria Wien can only dream of such a thing at the moment. The runner-up is playing a pretty messed-up season, which just has to be put to a close somehow. The hit in Salzburg is something special, especially for Austria’s new coach Thomas Letsch. For five years Letsch worked for the Red Bulls in various positions.
Red Bull Salzburg:
On Thursday, Red Bull Salzburg managed almost historic! For the first time in 23 years, the Red Bulls entered the round of the last eight in a European competition. It is the second time in the club’s history that Red Bull Salzburg has reached the quarter-finals of an international competition. At the time of its first appearance in 1994, Austria Salzburg reached the finals of the UEFA Cup, in which Salzburg lost both the away and the second leg against Inter Milan with 0: 1 respectively. The progress on Thursday against Borussia Dortmund was absolutely earned. After Red Bull Salzburg had already won the first leg away 2-1, the bull were the clear better team in the second leg, which missed out to score from the many opportunities. In the end, a 0-0 was enough for the quarter-finals, which came at almost any time even close to danger. Now Lazio Roma are waiting for Red Bull Salzburg, but who left Olympique Marseille in the group stage and in the KO round both Real Sociedad San Sebastian and Borussia Dortmund has thrown out, which can also exist against Lazio.
In the Bundesliga, it is only a matter of time before Red Bull Salzburg makes the next championship title perfect. Red Bull Salzburg lead the table with eight points ahead of Sturm Graz with ten games remaining. The Red Bulls were still in second place six laps ago. But five wins and a draw in the last six Bundesliga matches brought not only the first place, but also this lead. All in all, Red Bull Salzburg have seventeen wins, eight draws and one defeat in the Bundesliga. At home Red Bull Salzburg comes up with a record of nine threes and four draws at 31: 7 goals. The only defeat in the Bundesliga, which in any case is the only one in all competitive games this season, dates from 27.08.2017 at 0: 1 at Sturm Graz. Red Bull Salzburg have been unbeaten in 33 competitive matches and have won 21 of them.
Austria Vienna:
Austria Wien is a shadow of his own for the most part this season. For many fans too late, those responsible only pulled the ripcord a good three weeks ago and put former coach Thorsten Fink on the doorstep, after Austria Vienna under him in 24 games in the Bundesliga only scored seven wins and only six draws and eleven games lost. Austria Wien had already flown out of the ÖFB Cup in the second round and in the Europa League the violets failed in a group that could be made up with AC Milan, AEK Athens and Rijeka with only one win as group bottom. With Thomas Letsch now a man on the sidelines, who previously worked for five years for Red Bull Salzburg, before the cops decided for Marco Rose as head coach and the paths of Letsch and Salzburg parted ways. The new Austria coach immediately made a good start, as under him the Viennese could win their home games against Wolfsberger AC 2-0 and SKN St. Pölten 4-0. Thus, Austria Wien is under their new coach still without a clean sheet.
But you have to look at the two victories a bit relative. Because St. Pölten is knocked off the bottom of the Bundesliga with only two wins, four draws and twenty defeats and the Wolfsberg AC is as penultimate with four threes, eight draws and fourteen bankruptcies not exorbitantly better on the road. Austria Wien itself is currently in seventh place and seven points behind the international ranks. Away Austria Wien in the Bundesliga on a weak record of only three wins, four draws and six defeats. None of his last five away games could win Austria Wien. There were four defeats – one at St. Pölten – and a draw. Austria Wien won against Red Bull Salzburg for the last time on 21.09.2014. That sounds not too long ago, but there have been fifteen direct duels since then, of which Austria Vienna lost ten. In the two previous meetings this season, the two each shared the points after Austria Vienna had previously lost seven times in a row against Red Bull Salzburg.
