Red Bull Salzburg vs LASK Linz Prediction: Anything can happen in this match

At the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, the eleventh week of action in the Austria Bundesliga League will feature a clash between Red Bull Salzburg and LASK Linz. The most recent match in the league was a tie between the home team and Klagenfurt, while LASK Linz edged out Altach by the narrowest of margins. 

Red Bull Salzburg come into this game having just come off a tie against Austria Klagenfurt in the Bundesliga, which ended with a score of 2-2. During that match, Red Bull Salzburg held 45% of the possession and had 9 shots on goal, with 5 of them finding the target. Roko Simic scored the first goal for Red Bull Salzburg in the seventh minute, and Amankwah Forson scored the second goal for Red Bull Salzburg in the 29th minute. Their competitors from Austria Klagenfurt had a total of 16 shots on goal, six of which were on target. Austria Klagenfurt got their first goal from Nicolas Wimmer in the 45th minute, while their second goal came from Florian Jaritz in the 74th minute. The presence of a large number of scores that are nil is something that has become characteristic of games played by Red Bull Salzburg in more recent times. If you had placed a wager on both sides scoring in any of their previous six matchups before this one, you would have lost five of those bets. Red Bull Salzburg have not suffered a defeat at the hands of LASK Linz in any of their previous 12 encounters in the league before this contest.

LASK Linz will go into the match having just come off a victory in their most recent Bundesliga match, which they won 1-0 against Altach. During that match, LASK Linz held 68% of the possession and had 17 shots on goal, with 8 of those shots hitting the target. Robert Žulj, playing for LASK Linz, was the sole player to score for his team in the 82nd minute. The opposition, Altach, had a total of 12 shots on goal, but only four of them were on target. In their most recent six encounters, Thomas Sageder's LASK Linz have been successful in putting the ball in the back of the net six times, which has resulted in an average of one goal scored per game for them. Prior to this matchup, LASK Linz had not been victorious over Red Bull Salzburg in any of the previous six league games that were held away from their home stadium. In addition, LASK Linz has not suffered a defeat at the hands of Red Bull Salzburg in either of the two league matches that have taken place outside of LASK Linz's home stadium.

Even though neither club has been performing particularly well as of late, this should still prove to be an entertaining matchup. While all of this is going on, the hosts are just doing fairly well, and they have been playing. LASK Linz will have some difficulty competing away from home against a team like Red Bull Salzburg, but they have shown that they can be competitive in the past under similar circumstances. Because of this, I believe that the final score will be relatively close, with both teams managing to score here.
