Salzburg Preview – Can Salzburg improve in second phase?
A 2-0 home win against Sturm Graz on the final day of the Austrian Bundesliga regular season spared Salzburg’s blushed somewhat as that victory ended a surprising run of four league matches without a win, and they head into the Championship Round phase with a three-point lead over rivals LASK.
Salzburg sit in a provisional 1st place at the start of this second phase but recent results suggest that they may have their work cut out to hold onto top spot as they prepare for the visit of Rapid Vienna on Wednesday night, who pushed them all the way in their recent 3-2 defeat at the Red Bull Arena.
The hosts suffered just one defeat at home throughout the regular season which was to LASK in a 3-2 defeat and this clash may well produce further goals too as 8 of Salzburg’s 12 home matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
Rapid Vienna Preview – Can Rapid Vienna extend unbeaten run?
Wednesday night’s visitors, Rapid Vienna, bring a nine-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming clash against Salzburg and they’ll be confident that they can get something out of this encounter having seen Salzburg wobble towards the end of the regular season.
This impressive unbeaten run in the Bundesliga includes five wins with victories achieved over Altach 3-0, LASK 4-0, Admira 3-0, Tirol 2-0 and a 3-1 win over Mattersburg (with the former three results being recorded away from home).
Having also put together a five-match unbeaten run on their travels too, Rapid Vienna won’t be fazed by a trip to Salzburg where they narrowly lost 3-2 last time out at the Red Bull Arena, and they look set to contribute to the goals tally here as 6 of Rapid Vienna’s 11 away matches also saw over 2.5 goals and both teams score.
