FC Red Bull Salzburg vs FK Austria Wien Best odds and tips

FC Red Bull Salzburg are fourth in the Bundesliga Championship Group 2025 with 29 points from 28 games, while FK Austria Wien are top with 33 points from 28 games, meaning that the top two sides will be going head-to-head on Sunday. Salzburg’s form has been mixed of late, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five league matches. The most recent of these games saw them draw 1-1 at home to Wolfsberger AC, while they lost 2-1 away to the same side, suggesting that Thomas Letsch’s men are not as strong as they once were on home turf. Austria Wien’s form has also been mixed, with the visitors winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five league games. However, their back-to-back wins over Sturm Graz (2-1 at home and 1-0 away) have given them some momentum going into this clash.

Salzburg are the bookies’ favourites at 1.85, while Austria Wien are 4.2 outsiders and the draw is 3.8. We’re going for a home win in this clash, but Austria Wien’s momentum makes the draw an appealing option in the double chance market. Salzburg have won the last three head-to-heads between these sides, including an emphatic 3-1 victory away to Austria Wien just 8 days ago in this competition. Austria Wien haven’t won any of their last three away head-to-heads, so the hosts should have the psychological edge.

Salzburg’s relentless pressing and vertical, high-octane attacking style should be the perfect recipe for a chaotic clash against an Austria Wien side that prefer to build up slowly and play a more composed, possession-based style. The hosts have scored 2.00 goals per game and conceded 0.86 goals per game at home in the Bundesliga Championship Group 2025, while Austria Wien have scored 1.21 goals per game and conceded 0.93 goals per game away from home in the Bundesliga Championship Group 2025. Nene Dorgeles has been in lethal form for Salzburg in this phase of the campaign, netting four goals in six Bundesliga Championship Group 2025 games. Aleksa Terzic has been the chief creator for the hosts with three assists in their last five games, regularly finding the right pass to unlock defences. Maurice Malone is the main man for Austria Wien with two goals in six league games, but they are a more team-orientated side and his two goals represent half of their total goals across the last five games. The odds of 1.75 for over 2.5 goals look appealing for what should be an open clash between two attacking sides in what is a key fixture in the league standings. Salzburg’s head-to-head dominance and the bookies’ lean means we’re going for the hosts, but Austria Wien’s momentum could see this go to the wire.
