Salzburg vs LASK Linz Prediction and Match Preview

Salzburg vs LASK Linz Match Preview

Salzburg can now concentrate on their Austrian Bundesliga to the fullest as they are out of the Champions League qualifier competition. They have already played three matches and their first match performance was concerning. Ried freshers trapped Salzburg in a 2-2 draw in the first match. The subsequent two matches ended with a win and it appears that the first match draw against Ried encouraged them to achieve those victories.

LASK will travel to the Red Bulls on Saturday and they surely are going to have a difficult test not only due to the fact that they travel. Their new Bundesliga season began with a losing start as they suffered back-to-back losses. The third game ended with a win to bring joy to the team and they will come into this game after that.

The recent one-to-one between these two is interesting. Even though Salzburg is among the most powerful Austrian side, they could manage only two victories within the last five encounters and this period also contains two losses. Even in Salzburg’s home, LASK didn’t lose four out of their last five encounters. Thus, Salzburg will try to create ways to change their weaker record against LASk recently.

Salzburg vs LASK Linz Prediction

Thomas Letsch managed to begin the season at Red Bull Arena in the best possible manner with an inspiring victory. He maintained his team with a good equation of attack and defense remaining rock-steady. 5-0 victory over Grazer AK in the first home match is the evidence for that. Belgian forward Yorbe Vertessen scored 3 goals for the team and is already dominating the top-scorer table. His supporting attacker, Serbian striker Petar Ratkov has netted goals in his last two league games in a row displaying the attacking consistency at the front.

Joao Sacramento will have to do something different here as this match will be far more difficult than the ones they have played until now in this season. Moreover, LASK began this season with a loss away and conceded 3 goals during that time. With the ruinous Salzburg in the home jersey, ht/ft choice appears like an advantageous selection.

Salzburg have recorded more than 2.5 goals in all the three opening games. Their forwards alone scored 9 goals in the three games. Rather than Yorbe Vertessen, the two-match goal-scoring streak of Petar Ratkov is a valid reason to look out for him.
