FC Red Bull Salzburg
- FC Red Bull Salzburg are third in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 14 points from 6 games, while SK Sturm Graz are fourth with 11 points from 6.

SK Sturm Graz
- The hosts have certainly been the better of the two so far this season with 14 points from six games, compared to Sturm's 11, but SK Sturm Graz did not look their best when they were beaten 3-1 at SK Rapid Wien in the opening round of the Championship Group.
- Sturm have been solid on the road in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with one win, one draw and a loss from three away games so far, while Salzburg are perfect at home with three straight wins and ten goals scored.
Head-to-Head
Sturm have won two and drawn three of the last five meetings between the clubs across all current competitions with Salzburg, who have failed to win their last two home games against Sturm Graz.

Betting Insights
- FC Red Bull Salzburg are the favorites to win this match with the bookies at 1.67, but SK Sturm Graz can't be discounted with the visitors priced up at 4.33 for a win in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 Championship Group clash at Red Bull Arena.
- Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.44 looks a much sharper bet than siding with either team at the odds available.
Prediction
- There's certainly an edge to this fixture and with both sides flying high right now we could be in for a close, end-to-end game this Sunday.
- Salzburg will be keen to prove the bookies right and their extra firepower gives them a slight edge at home, so we're siding with the home side to take the spoils.
