Red Bull Salzburg vs Hartberg Prediction: Frustrated Salzburg to get a league win

Red Bull Salzburg will play host to Hartberg in their round fourteen match of the 2022/2023 Austrian Bundesliga League season.

After losing to Chelsea 1-2 in the previous round of the Champions League, Red Bull Salzburg will be looking to avoid a repeat performance here. Red Bull Salzburg only controlled the ball for 29 percent of the game while taking 16 shots (7 on goal). Junior Chukwubuike Adamu (48') was the only Red Bull Salzburg player to register a goal. With 15 attempts, 11 for Chelsea found the target. Chelsea won 2-0 thanks to goals from Mateo Kovai (23') and Kai Havertz (64'). The Red Bulls have been giving up goals at a fairly high rate as of late, but they have also scored when given the opportunity. Red Bull Salzburg scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have also allowed goals in 5. Red Bull Salzburg enters this game with a perfect home record in the league (33 games without a loss). Similarly, Red Bull Salzburg have gone winless in their last three league home games.

TSV Hartberg and their fans will seek revenge after losing to Rapid Vienna in the Bundesliga earlier this season. TSV Hartberg had 45% of the ball and 9 shots (3 on target) in that game. TSV Hartberg's only goal was scored by Okan Aydn (44'). Rapid Wien, on the other hand, had 25 shots and 12 were on target. Rapid Vienna won thanks to goals from Guido Burgstaller (26', 52', 71'), Marco Grüll (68'), and Nicolas Kühn (92'). Goals have been scored 25 times in the last six games featuring TSV Hartberg, which is an average of 4.17 goals per match. TSV Hartberg comes into this match, having failed to win either of their previous two league matches played away from home.

The odds are in favor of Red Bull Salzburg. They will be playing at home in this match and they will surely do everything to win. We do not expect them to have any of their first team squad on bench. With their league’s form, we expect them to cruise to victory.
