SCR Altach vs Red Bull Salzburg Prediction

Alright folks, let's get down to business with this Bundesliga showdown! SCR Altach might be sitting in 9th place, but don't write them off just yet. These boys showed what they can do with that cracking 3-1 win over Wolfsberger AC at home - and let me tell you, Wolfsberger's been no joke with 1.80 points per game recently.

Now, Red Bull Salzburg are sitting pretty at the top of the table, but their form's gone a bit shaky lately. Only one win in their last five games? That's not the Salzburg we're used to seeing! They even managed to lose 2-3 at home to WSG Wattens - talk about a shocker!

Here's the interesting bit - these two teams drew 2-2 back in October, and looking at the head-to-head, both teams have scored in 6 out of their 9 meetings. Altach might not have ever beaten Salzburg, but they certainly know how to find the net against them.

Altach's been scoring at home too - 1.20 goals per game on their own patch. They've found the net in 8 of their last 10 games, so they're not exactly shy in front of goal. Salzburg, despite their recent dip, are still averaging 1.90 goals per game and have scored in 9 of their last 10 matches.

The way I see it, both teams should get on the scoresheet here. Altach have that home advantage and showed they can compete with the big boys, while Salzburg have too much firepower not to score at least once.

Key Points:

• Altach scored 3 in their last home game against strong opposition

• Salzburg's form has dipped with only 1 win in last 5 games

• Both teams scored in 6/9 previous meetings

• Altach have scored in 8/10 recent games

• Salzburg have scored in 9/10 recent games

• Last meeting ended 2-2 in October

The BTTS market at 1.70 looks like solid value here. Both teams have the scoring form, and recent history suggests we're in for goals from both sides. Time to fire up the BBQ and enjoy what should be an entertaining encounter!
