Salzburg – Rapid Vienna will be played on Wednesday, June 3, starting with 19:30 in the 23rd round of the Austrian first league playoffs.
In the regular season, Salzburg prevailed in both games, 2-0 in Vienna and 3-2 at home. Rapid Vienna has not won in the last 8 games in Salzburg, being defeated in 7 of them.
In recent years, the host team has dominated Austrian football, but this season things are a little different. Salzburg ended the regular season at 2, 6 lengths away from the LASK leader. After halving the points, there were 3 lengths left, but the Linz team did not comply with the health safety rules imposed to avoid SARS-CoV-2 infection. A 6-point score for LASK followed, and Salzburg started this playoff from the lead. It is noteworthy that the host team was the group with the best offense in the first part of the championship, 74 goals in 22 stages.
The visiting team ended the regular season on 3 with a total of 40 points. It is noteworthy that only 16 were obtained “at home” and 24 points were earned away. Moreover, Rapid Vienna had the 2nd best offensive away with 27 goals scored.
After dominating Austrian football in Salzburg in recent years, we now have a balanced season. The group at Red Bull Arena no longer has the same strength, and LASK and Rapid Vienna can take advantage. Most likely we will witness a spectacular match and bet on at least one goal on each side. For a higher odds you can bet on a goal at the end of the game.
