LASK Linz
- LASK Linz has won three of their last five matches (D1, L1) in all competitions, while FC Red Bull Salzburg has only won two of their last five (D1, L2).
- Dietmar Kuehbauer’s men have had a lot to do with Salzburg’s lack of recent success, winning 3 of their last 4 home games to establish themselves as a real fortress in Linz.
- LASK has a strong home record in the Bundesliga 2025/2026, winning 6, drawing 1 and losing 2 of their 9 home games, while averaging 1.56 goals per game on their own patch.
- Robert Zulj provides the creativity to supply their star striker, Moses Usor, who has scored 7 times in 18 Bundesliga 2025/2026 games - and 2 in LASK’s last four.
FC Red Bull Salzburg
- Salzburg have won one, drawn one and lost one of their last three away games.
- Salzburg’s pressing game has been less cohesive of late and, while they are usually lightning quick on the transition, they are not always as clinical in the final third.
- Petar Ratkov is their danger man with nine goals in 17 Bundesliga 2025/2026 appearances, while Karim Konate has been just as clinical recently, netting three of his side’s last five.
- Letsch was dismissed on 17 February 2026 and whoever comes in to manage this clash will have to get up to speed quickly.

Betting Insights
- With the teams so evenly matched, it is impossible to predict a result and the bookies are struggling to separate them for this game too, with Salzburg only very slightly favored at 2.62 to the hosts’ 2.5.
- Both Teams to Score is heavily favored at 1.53, which is probably understandable given the attacking talents on offer.
Prediction
We’re going to take the hosts on the Draw no Bet line here, although a draw would also be a fair reflection of the likely result in this tense, tactical chess match.
