Hartberg - Salzburg predictions

Hartberg are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 5.63, no punter will dare backing them up against Salzburg. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

We are likely going to see Salzburg triumph this Sunday, though Hartberg do have a fighting chance. Maybe the home field advantage will be enough to spur them into a surprise draw or victory, though it’s not a probable outcome.

It’s fair to say Hartberg were not expected to return home from their previous league trip with anything more than their tail between their legs. However, a brave display saw them earn a colossal point (Sturm Graz) after they even had a first-time lead against a heavily favoured rival.

A 2:0 defeat is not what Salzburg supporters had hoped would be the result of their team’s previous Tipico Bundesliga match. After all, they were clear favourites to win (1.70). However, all they were able to do is to hold on to a draw at halftime before succumbing to a heavy defeat.

After recording more than 5 concessions in the previous 3 home games alone, confidence in Hartberg and their ability to bank on home-field advantage is shaky.

Salzburg may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Salzburg decisively won their previous engagement with Hartberg. They secured a multiple-goal difference in an earlier round of the Tipico Bundesliga, and most bookies are expecting a repeat of that success.

We can look forward to an exciting game as both teams have their full lineups available, thanks to no suspensions or injuries.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.45 odds are great value.
