Form Guide — Last 5
Red Bull Salzburg
Salzburg’s last five league results (D‑W‑W‑W‑D) contain a 5‑1 home win over Rapid Vienna and a 4‑1 home triumph against Austria Vienna, demonstrating a pattern of scoring at least four goals in two of their recent home matches. This goal‑rich form underpins the expectation that they will score again, supporting the BTTS pick.
Sturm Graz
Graz’s recent run (W‑W‑D‑L‑W) includes a 2‑0 away win at TSV Hartberg and a 2‑1 home victory over LASK Linz, showing they can score both in away and home settings. Their ability to break the net in these matches reinforces the likelihood they will also score at Salzburg.
