Red Salzburg vs Sturm Graz Prediction: An interesting blockbuster Saturday evening

Red Bull Salzburg and Sturm Graz will square it off for the second time in the Austria Bundesliga for the second time this season. Late July, the visitors had a 2-1 win over Red Bull Salzburg at the Merkur-Arena and will hope to make it a second win. Meanwhile, Red Bull Salzburg will definitely take advantage of playing at home and hope to give it all it needs to take all three important points. 

Red Bull Salzburg will want to keep going where they left off after beating Austria Vienna 1-3 in the Bundesliga last time. In that game, Red Bull Salzburg had 62% of the ball possession and 17 shots on goal, with 5 of them hitting the goal. Junior Chukwubuike Adamu was the only Red Bull Salzburg player to score (in the 11th, 74th, and 80th minutes). Austria Wien had 10 shots on goal, and three were on goal. Dominik Fitz scored Austria Vienna's goal in the 37th minute. Recently, it's been hard for Red Bull Salzburg to keep a clean sheet, but they've also been able to score. Red Bull Salzburg has given up goals in 5 of their last 6 games. They have also scored fourteen in all of those games. Before the game, the facts show that Red Bull Salzburg has not won their last two league games against Sturm Graz. Also, Red Bull Salzburg hasn't lost in 32 league games at home.

Sturm Graz will go into this meeting following a 3-2 Bundesliga win as they beat Wolfsberger AC in their last outing. In that game, Sturm Graz managed 59% possession and 15 attempted shots at goal, with 9 on target. For Sturm Graz, goals were scored by Otar Kiteishvili (49'), Alexandar Borković (51') and Albian Ajeti (55'). For their opponents, Wolfsberger AC had 12 shots on goal, with 5 of them on target. Tai Baribo (25') and Thorsten Röcher (90') scored for Wolfsberger AC. Christian Ilzer's Sturm Graz have found the back of the net 12 times during their previous sextet of matches. The number of goals they conceded during those matches comes to 5. Pre-game facts show Sturm Graz has not defeated Red Bull Salzburg in away games in the last three league away matches. Also, the visitors are undefeated in their previous 5 away league matches this season. 

In their previous matches in the Austria Bundesliga, both teams have been scoring a lot of goals and we expect that to continue in this match. In fact, only one of their last five matches has seen less than three goals scored. Bet on over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
