RB Salzburg vs SV Ried Prediction

Despite losing out on their best players every year, Salzburg continues to remain a force in Austria and an upcoming club in Europe. The Red-Bull owned side showed their capabilities in their recent 1-0 win over La Liga Champions Atletico Madrid, which shook the footballing fraternity – even if it was a friendly. They resume their Bundesliga journey with a meeting with SV Ried next at home, a side they have beaten on the last 4 occasions and are unbeaten against in the last nine. Not only that, the Austrian Champions have won their last 3 games in a row, too, against varying oppositions. Their attacking prowess is shown in most of their recent games, crossing the border of more than 2.5 goals, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if there is a repeat of that this Sunday.

Ried might be facing their biggest test of the season – Salzburg away in the Bundesliga. The problem with the visiting opposition has been that they start the game very well, opening the scoring in most of the games, but somehow lack the fitness or the vigour to maintain the lead or finish off the games by adding to the scoreline. Against Salzburg, though, they face an opponent where they might not be able to do any of the two things mentioned above. Ried is also without a clean sheet in the last 9 meetings with Salzburg now, and there is no doubt that they will make the count ten on Sunday. But the only question remains whether the away team will score enough to secure a surprising draw or not.
