Rheindorf Altach vs Red Bull Salzburg 29.07.2023 Prediction: Austrian Bundesliga

Match Overview

Red Bull Salzburg travel to the CASHPOINT Arena Football Stadium to take on Altach in the first round of the Austrian Bundesliga on Saturday. The visiting side will hope to stamp their mark of authority in this contest and ensure that the home team do not get a whiff of it. The defending champions of the Austrian Bundesliga, Red Bull Salzburg, will be keen on starting the new season with a bang.

Key Highlights

Salzburg have scored a total of ten goals in the last five matches that they have played, compiling an average of two goals per game. Compare this to the five goals that Altach have scored in their last five. This means that Salzburg are in better attacking form than Altach. However, when these two teams met last time, they played out a 1-1 draw. This might give Altach some confidence ahead of this game.

Injury Report

Both Altach and Salzburg have a long list of injured players in their ranks. Simon Nelson, Felix Strauss, Dominik Reiter and Csaba Bukta will not be available for selection for Altach whereas the likes of Luka Sucic, Samson Tijani and Fernando have been ruled out of action for Red Bull Salzburg.

Prediction

Salzburg are the overwhelming favourites to win this game. They have been much stronger than their opponents in the past and will look forward to continuing their dominance in this game as well. Altach will be severely hampered by the memory that they have not won a single match at home in their last five attempts to do so. Salzburg will try to employ this fact to their own advantage in this game. We expect them to win.
