We're taking a rare trip to Austria, and Kev hopes the league leaders will be involved in a Sunday spectacular.

"Mattersburg are scoring freely, but are unlikely to keep a clean sheet against the runaway league leaders."

Back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.9310/11

Mattersburg v Red Bull Salzburg

League leaders to contribute to entertaining clash

A Boavista borefest last night, as the hosts edged out Estoril 1-0. We move on.

We'll wrap up the week in Austria, as champions and league leaders Red Bull Salzburg look to take another step towards retaining their title, as they visit Mattersburg.

Salzburg pulled off one of the shocks of the round in the Europa League on Thursday, as they secured a fully-deserved 2-1 victory at Borussia Dortmund. Ahead of the second leg in Austria, coach Marco Rose is likely to shuffle his pack, but he still has every reason to think that Salzburg will win.

The leaders have won eight of their nine matches since the winter break, and in the Austrian Bundesliga they have won their last five matches.

Mattersburg are in mid-table, but they have been on the charge of late, with five wins from their last six games. They have scored 19 goals in their last seven competitive matches, but they've only managed to keep two clean sheets in that period.

It's tempting to back domestically dominant Salzburg to win at 1.910/11, but given Mattersburg's recent results I'll go for Over 2.5 Goals instead at 1.9310/11.
