Salzburg take on the visitors Sturm Graz in the round 30 match of Championship Group. The match will be played on Sunday, May 21st at Red Bull Arena (Salzburg).
This match will certainly be decisive in many ways, especially if it ends favorably for the hosts. The tournament situation is such that Salzburg is the leader and is three points ahead of Sturm. If the hosts win in the upcoming encounter, Sturm will no longer be able to catch up with them in the remaining matches. As for Salzburg's current form, they rarely lose and alternate between victories and draws. It is worth noting that this season the Bulls are not as attacking-minded as they used to be. Currently, Salzburg pays more attention to their defense. The hosts have good prospects in the upcoming match, as they have not lost in the previous two encounters against Sturm, defeating them 2-0 and drawing 0-0. So it seems that the hosts can approach this match tactically, and even a draw would suit the Bulls since they would still maintain a +3 advantage over their closest pursuers.

Sturm is trying season after season to dethrone Salzburg from the top of Austrian football, but they haven't been successful for a long time. Sturm's current form is combative, as they gather points and try to stay close behind the Bulls. But will the guests achieve anything in this head-to-head match? There is a feeling that Sturm is unlikely to secure a victory here. Salzburg looks too confident in this league, and it seems that Sturm's leap will be halted in the upcoming match. Sturm can take risks in this encounter since they won't lose their second-place position, and they have a significant advantage over the team in the third position. On the other hand, if Sturm loses in this round, it will surely mark the end of their championship ambitions. If they manage to draw, there will still be some chances in the remaining matches. This creates a sense that the Bulls will lull their opponents, and the match could even end in a 0-0 draw.
There is not much belief in Sturm's heroic efforts here. Perhaps it's worth considering a bet in favor of the hosts. My choice leans towards an unusual combination bet, namely 1X + Under 3.5 goals. The hosts are the favorites here, and they are not interested in an open game. A tactical draw like 0-0 would suit the Bulls. Thus, such a combination bet looks quite appealing.
Prediction for the match: Salzburg not to lose and Under 3.5 scored goals.
