SALZBURG v STURM GRAZ
Saturday 7th May 2016 – Kickoff: 1830hrs
Football – Austria – Bundesliga Betting Tips
Salzburg can put another Austrian Bundesliga title to bed tonight when they take on Sturm Graz at their Red Bull Arena as they currently sit top of the division by a 9-point margin ahead of second placed Rapid Vienna with just three league matches remaining of the season.
Salzburg have been dominant on home turf all season having lost just once all term amidst an overall impressive record of 13-2-1 43/14 and an eleven match unbeaten run going into this evening’s encounter.
In addition, Salzburg have won their last seven home matches on the trot, scoring 16 goals for and conceding just 3 in reply. Striker Soriano (21 goals) is the leading goalscorer in the division, and he’s been well supported by Minamino (9 goals) and midfielder Keita (12 goals).
Visitors Sturm Graz sit some 21 points adrift of their opponents tonight as they currently occupy fifth place in the Bundesliga but are just four points behind third placed Austria Vienna who hold the last remaining Europa League spot.
But if Sturm Graz are to make a serious challenge for a european place, then they have to win at Salzburg tonight, and with an average away record of 5-2-9 13/20 under their belts so far, this looks very unlikely.
Throw in just two away wins from their last eleven road trips and you can see the extent of the challenge ahead of them here this evening! By the way, Sturm Graz have lost three of their last four away from home, and they were soundly beaten 3-1 last time at the Red Bull Arena.
Pick: Salzburg AH-1 @ 1.78 Bet Victor
