Austria Wien vs Red Bull Salzburg Prediction 03.06.2023

• Competition: Austrian Bundesliga
• Date: Saturday, 3rd, June 2023
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17.00 CEST
• Venue: Generali Arena (Vienna)

The 2022/23 campaign in Germany ended last weekend, and this Saturday the last round of the Austrian Bundesliga is played. The duel that could bring us a lot of fun is the one that is played in the capital between Austria Vienna and Red Bull Salzburg.

The Violets are currently fifth and have two points less than fourth-placed Rapid (a place that brings direct qualification for the UEFA Conference League). However, if the capital club remains in its current position, they will fight with Wolfsberger or Austria Lustenau for the remaining ticket to the mentioned competition. On the other hand, Salzburg won the 17th title in its history and the ninth in a row.

Austria Wien vs Red Bull Salzburg Betting Tips: BTTS

After three years of terror, nine consecutive triumphs, including two in the regular part of the season (3-0; 3-1), Austria Wien finally ended Salzburg's dominance in early April, since they stole a point from that visit in a dramatic six-goal draw (3-3). We hope that the capital club will show its teeth to the new-old champion this time as well.

However, the boys in purple kits have nothing to hope for in Saturday's clash, since they have achieved only one triumph since the start of the playoff phase. In addition, their performance against Die Roten Bullen is disastrous. The last time they beat them was in 2018, and since then they have suffered 14 failures from 16 duels.

They may not have the recipe to defeat the giant, but they have the ability to find the back of the net against any rival. By the way, Austria Wien is very interesting to watch. Since the beginning of the second part, they have never managed to save a calm net, but also they have scored at least one in each of the nine playoff rounds so far.

At the same time, it should be pointed out that The Violets have significantly raised their efficiency in the playoff stages and no other team is equal to them in that view. The goal-difference of 17-20 (ie 4.1 goals per match) clearly shows that the club from the capital of Austria plays attacking football without too much attention in defense.

Meanwhile, Salzburg continues to dominate Austrian football and there is nothing strange about that. Even when the attacking segment left a much weaker impression than in previous years, their average of scored goals is more than two per match (66 from 31 rounds) and there is no doubt that they will be attack-minded again.

Admittedly, the team from Mozart's city has shown a lack of defensive firmness lately. For example, they conceded 13 goals from 21 games in the regular part of the season, while now in the playoffs they allowed eight goals from only nine rounds. This is a clear indication that something is not right in the defense of the champion.

What can we expect in the duel between the two best scorers of the Austrian Bundesliga, except that sparks will fly everywhere. Also, it is important to note that Salzburg's back line has been broken four times in the last five games. Well, if both sides open up like in the last showdown, there's no doubt that the audience will enjoy it!
