- SV Austria Salzburg have scored just 11 goals in 12 away matches in the 2. Liga 2025-2026 campaign.

Head-to-Head
The last matchup between the two sides was a 2-0 home win for Salzburg five months ago in the 2. Liga, so this fixture has a history of being a low-scoring and tactically driven game.
