Austria Vienna vs Salzburg: Top Two Tips
Here are our predictions for the Champions Round fixture between Austria Vienna and Salzburg. Salzburg have won the Bundesliga with games to spare but will still be aiming to end the season on a high note as they face Austria Vienna on Saturday. The hosts could still move up one spot with a positive result this weekend but that's not going to be easy against the champions.
Contents
Salzburg to Win
Our first Austria Vienna vs Salzburg prediction concerns the full-time result. Salzburg have picked up six wins and a draw from their last seven league meetings with Austria Vienna, and we're backing the visitors to secure another 3pts this weekend. Austria Vienna have lost four of their last seven league games and go up against a Salzburg side that have won five of their last seven fixtures.
Benjamin Sesko to Score
Our second Austria Vienna vs Salzburg prediction delves into the Anytime Goalscorer market. Benjamin Sesko has been dubbed the next Erling Halland by some and this season he is starting to look like a striker with a big future ahead of him. The Slovenian forward has netted 16-goals in the Bundesliga this season and has scored seven of those goals in his last 10 matches in all competitions, so you can see why we're backing the 20-year-old to score against Austria Vienna on Saturday.

Salzburg played out a 5-goal thriller at home to Austria Klagenfurt and the hosts had to come from two goals down to secure all 3pts.

Player to Watch: Junior Adamu
Salzburg's 21-year-old forward had a massive impact in their last league game, coming off the bench to score twice in a 3-2 victory.
The young Austria striker has netted 10 goals in the Bundesliga this season and looks to have a very bright future ahead of him. We're not sure if he will start this weekend but we certainly expect him to make an impact when he does get onto the pitch on Saturday.
The Nigerian-born forward scored 7-goals last season and has improved in 2023, making him the ideal replacement for Sesko who appears to be on a similar path to Erling Haaland.
