Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.645/8 in Austria Vienna v Red Bull Salzburg

The Violets are in bloom and Tobias Gourlay expects them to go on the charge against the Red Bulls

Austria Vienna v Red Bull Salzburg
Saturday 15:00

Le Cannonier fired on all cylinders last night. Mouscron 2 Zulte-Waregem 2 in Belgium and we can make for the other side of Germany with head held high.

The top two meet in Austria this afternoon and we wouldn't be anywhere else. Austria Vienna and Red Bull Salzburg are where they are because of their league-leading attacks. Their defences, on the hand, are thoroughly mid-table.

Top of the pile, Thorsten Fink's Austria Vienna have seen 23 goals in their first six home matches of the season. Peter Zeidler's Salzburg have witnessed just as many in seven road games. Brace yourselves for more of the same today: since 2013, nine of their 10 Bundesliga meetings have delivered Over 2.5 Goals.

More recently, both teams have scored in 5/6 of those Vienna home games and on 6/7 Salzburg away days. The Violets have logged just one clean sheet at Franz Horr Stadium this season, while Salzburg have none from their travels. In total, nine of those 13 matches have produced Over 2.5 Goals.
