Wolfsberger finished the last season on sixth place with 43 points take in 36 matches with 33-36 aggregate goal difference. The team shows defensive football, which is rare thing for Austrian Bundesliga. The Wolfs took part in five sparrings during pre-season this summer, taking three wins, one draw and one defeat. However, the team is uncompetitive in official matches, losing cup match Ebreichsdorf, 0-1, and the first round of the season in Bundesliga to Altach with the same score.
Salzburg are undefeated in head-to-heads with Wolfsberger in their last five matches, taking two wins and three draws. Today’s hosts have second leg of Champions League matchup with Partizani next week and they need to save resources for that match. Of course, the hosts will prevail in first home match in Bundesliga but they won’t force things when have the lead.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals.
