Hartberg vs Red Bull Salzburg Prediction: Expect a competitive matchup

In the fourth round of the Austria Bundesliga League, the match between Hartberg and Red Bull Salzburg will take place at the Stadion Hartberg. A victory over Rapid Vienna away from home put the home team in a good position for this match, while Salzburg came out on top after a back-and-forth battle with Austria Vienna.

Following their most recent victory, which came against Rapid Vienna in the Bundesliga, Hartberg will look to add another victory. During that match, Hartberg held a 42% possession advantage and had 9 shots on goal, with 3 of them finding the target. Christoph Urdl was the lone player on the Hartberg team to score, and he did it in the 68th minute. On the other end of the field, Rapid Wien had 11 shots on goal, but only four of them were successful in hitting the target. In recent times, games played against Hartberg have consistently delivered a sense of excitement, with heavy scoring being the norm. During the course of their most recent six contests, a combined total of 24 goals have been scored by both teams (which works out to an average of 4 goals per game), with Hartberg being responsible for 12 of those goals. Ahead of this matchup, Hartberg have not tasted defeat in either of their previous two league matches played at home.

Red Bull Salzburg's most recent match result was a 2-0 victory over Austria Vienna in the Austrian Bundesliga. However, they will bring that momentum into this contest, hoping they can display a spectacular performance again. During that contest, Red Bull Salzburg had 57% control of the ball and 17 shots on goal, with 6 of those shots finding the target. Amankwah Forson in the 55th minute and Karim Konaté in the 98th minute both scored goals for Red Bull Salzburg. There were three shots on goal for Austria Vienna, but none of them were on target. In the previous six matches that Red Bull Salzburg have participated in, there have been a total of 20 goals scored, which results in an overall mean average of 3.33 goals for each contest. The opposing teams have been successful in achieving three of these goals. In the last 16 matches that Red Bull Salzburg has played away from home in the league, they have not been defeated once.

In the past 13 seasons, Hartberg and Red Bull Salzburg have played each other a total of 14 times, with Red Bull Salzburg coming out on top 12 times. Hartberg did not win a single one of those games. One hundred and one of the games were decided by a draw. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Hartberg scored six goals, while Red Bull Salzburg managed to score 41.

Both teams are anticipated to display their respective levels of competence during this competition, which is anticipated to be highly challenging. On the other hand, despite the fact that the home team appears to be in better shape, they still appear to be lacking in a few key areas. In the meantime, I believe that Red Bull Salzburg have what it takes to win this match because they have a great group both offensively and defensively. In addition, taking into account the outcomes of their previous encounters with one another as well as their current play, I do not anticipate that there will be a lot of goals scored in this match.
