Head-to-Head
Their head-to-head in the last two meetings is level (Salzburg 1, Rapid Wien 1, 0 draws).
FC Red Bull Salzburg (home)
- FC Red Bull Salzburg sit second on 18 points from 22 matches in the Bundesliga 2025/2026.
- Daniel Beichler has been tasked with bringing back Salzburg’s high-pressing, attack-first identity since he became coach in February 2026.
- Salzburg are playing with the ball, playing high, pressing and moving forward quickly, but they have lost momentum and have lost their last two games.
SK Rapid Wien (away)
- SK Rapid Wien are fifth on 16 points heading into this Sunday’s head-to-head matchup at the Red Bull Arena.
- Johannes Hoff Thorup has done a fantastic job since taking over at Rapid Wien in January 2026, introducing a tactical flexibility into the side and a willingness to be patient in possession before suddenly changing the tempo.
- They edged Salzburg 1-0 at home just 48 hours ago and will probably need to be at their best to get something here.
- Rapid Wien’s overall away form in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 is slightly concerning with no win in two away (D1, L1).
Key Players
-
Key men to watch:
- Frans Kraetzig, Salzburg’s creative engine, has three assists in his last five games.
- Karim Konate, the club’s main attacking threat, has scored three goals in his last five matches, netting three of Salzburg's last six goals across those games.
Betting Insights
- The odds on a home win look a bit on the short side at 1.67, so I’m looking to the goals markets for more value.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 is the main selection for this game.
- Both teams to score at 1.67 is the top value bet in the market.
Prediction
Salzburg must have the quality to bounce back at home and get the better of Rapid Wien.
