Admira Wacker vs Austria Salzburg Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper gander at this Austrian 2. Liga clash between Admira Wacker and Austria Salzburg. Admira are sitting pretty in 2nd place, and get this - they're still unbeaten after 9 games! That's 4 wins and 5 draws, proper solid stuff. But here's the rub, guv'nor - their home form's been a bit hit and miss. From their last 4 at home, they've only managed one win, drawing the other three.

Austria Salzburg, meanwhile, are down in 10th spot with a more mixed bag of results. They've been scoring goals for fun lately (1.6 per game on average), but they're also letting them in at the back (1.8 per game). Away from home, they've been struggling something rotten - only one win in their last five on the road, scoring less than a goal per game.

Now, when you look at the recent results, both teams seem to like finding the net. Admira have been scoring in 60% of their recent games, while Salzburg have been scoring in 70% of theirs. Admira's home games have been seeing plenty of action too - averaging 2.75 goals per match (1.5 scored, 1.25 conceded).

The bookies have got Both Teams to Score at 1.83, which looks a bit generous to me. Given that both sides have been scoring regularly and Admira have been leaking goals at home, I reckon there's value here. Salzburg might not win many away games, but they do tend to score in them.

Admira's unbeaten run is impressive, but with five draws already this season, they're not exactly blowing teams away. And Salzburg, despite their league position, have been finding the net against better teams than this recently.

Key Points:

• Admira unbeaten in 9 league games but draw a lot (5 draws already)

• Admira's home form: only 1 win in last 4 at home

• Salzburg score 1.6 goals per game but concede 1.8

• Both teams score in 60% (Admira) and 70% (Salzburg) of recent games

• Admira's home games average 2.75 goals

• Salzburg score away even if they don't win (0.8 goals per away game)

Given the stats and the odds on offer, I'm backing both teams to get on the scoresheet here. Admira should have too much quality to lose, but their defensive record at home suggests Salzburg can nick one.
