- Team form: Wolfsberger are on a 4-game winning streak across all current competitions
- Head-to-head: Wolfsberger have won 2 of their last 3 home games against Salzburg
- Recent form: Salzburg have won 3 of their last 5 matches
An interesting clash of styles
Thomas Silberberger has set up a lean and pragmatic Wolfsberger Athletik Club side that like to keep their shape, play a mid-block and hit their opponents with vertical runs on the counter-attack. This won't be a typical game of passing the ball from the back, but a battle of who can get the better of the other in an attempt to take the game to their opponent.
In contrast, Danny Roehl has his Salzburg side playing the classic Red Bull style of pressing high and with intensity, playing at a fast tempo, suffocating their opponents in the middle third and flooding central areas to pounce on turnover plays. This will be a interesting game where Salzburg will likely have the ball more, but if Wolfsberger get the jump, it could be a scrap.
Home side on a hot streak
Wolfsberger sit 2nd in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 having taken 3 points from their only match so far this season, and they come into Sunday's matchup on the back of a 4-game win streak.
Salzburg have also had a good start to the season, currently 4th on the table with 3 points from their only game to date. They've won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5, and come into this one on the back of a 2-match winning streak where they destroyed Oberwart 7-1 away in the OFB Cup 2026/2027 and beat TSV Hartberg 1-0 at home in their opening Bundesliga 2026/2027 match.
- That run has seen them beat Atus Velden 4-0 away, trounce FC Lauterach 5-1 in the OFB Cup away and then go on to win 3-0 at home to FK Austria Wien in the Bundesliga.
The game
Salzburg are the favorite for this one at 2.0, with Wolfsberger set at 3.4 and the draw at 3.65. Salzburg have won this game 1-0 away in the OFB Cup 2025/2026 and have won the last 2 overall, but we feel this will be closer than the odds suggest.
Wolfsberger are unbeaten in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 at home, winning their only home match so far and scoring 3.00 goals per match while conceding 0.00. Over 2.5 goals at 1.67 and both teams to score at 1.55 both look likely, and we're going with BTTS as the main bet here.
Any value in the scorers
Wolfsberger threats
Giacomo Vrioni has been Wolfsberger's main finisher in the early stages of the season, taking his Bundesliga tally to 2 goals in 1 match to be the club's highest scorer so far in 2026/2027. He'll be their most dangerous player in the box, so we'll take him to score anytime.
Donis Avdijaj has been a livewire for Wolfsberger, providing 1 assist in his only Bundesliga appearance so far, so he'll be a good value for a goal if he manages to get on the board. Marco Schabauer has been in good form, contributing 2 of Wolfsberger's last 5 goals across all competitions.
Salzburg threats
Karim Konate has 1 goal in 1 Bundesliga appearance, and has been Salzburg's most reliable goal scorer so far in 2026/2027. He'll be their cleanest chance creator and best route to goal in this game.
