Red Bull Salzburg host SCR Altach on 18 October, and the numbers point to a clear advantage for the home side. Across their last 10 games on all fronts, Salzburg have won 6, drawn 2 and lost 2, scoring 2.1 per game while conceding just 0.9. Altach, by contrast, have won 4, drawn 0 and lost 6 in their last 10, scoring 1.6 per game and conceding 1.2. The gap in points per game — 2 to 1.2 — is the kind of separation that should make a home favourite look comfortable.
The venue record reinforces it. Over 20 home games, Salzburg have collected 9 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses at 1.45 points per game, scoring 1.55 per match. Altach's 20 away games have produced 5 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses at 1 point per game, with 1.15 scored and 1.5 conceded. On most lines in the comparison table the home side is ahead, though Altach actually hold more clean sheets on the road (6/20 to 5/20) and the over-2.5 and BTTS splits are close.
But here's where it gets interesting, and where I'd normally start hunting for value. Salzburg's last two competitive games have been ugly: a 0–4 home defeat to AC Milan in the Europa League on 15 October and a 0–0 draw away at Grazer AK on 10 October. Their current run is a loss, and they've failed to score in two of their last five. Meanwhile, Altach came in hot with a 3–0 home win over Wolfsberger AC on 11 October, and their last five games include two wins with 11 goals scored.
The head-to-head at this specific ground adds another wrinkle. In the last 12 months, the two meetings at Salzburg's ground produced a 0–1 Altach win in March 2026 (Cup) and a 2–2 draw in October 2025. Salzburg haven't beaten Altach here recently. The older 2–1 home win from October 2024 is historical record, not current form.
So the raw data says Salzburg should win, but the last two weeks and the fixture history at this venue suggest it won't be a stroll. The 0–4 to Milan is a Europa League game, and the 0–0 at Grazer AK was on the road, so I'm not reading too much into that dip. The 3–0 over Sturm Graz at home four weeks ago showed the home form is still there. Altach's away record over 20 games is poor — 10 losses, 1 point per game — and they've lost three of their last five, including 0–2 and 0–3 on the road.
Key Points:
- Salzburg's last 10 games: 6W 2D 2L, 2 PPG, 2.1 scored, 0.9 conceded — clearly the stronger side on the numbers
- Altach's away record over 20 games: 5W 5D 10L, 1 PPG, 1.15 scored, 1.5 conceded
- H2H at Salzburg's ground in the last 12 months: 0–1 Altach win and 2–2 draw — no Salzburg win
- Salzburg's last two games: 0–4 loss to AC Milan (home) and 0–0 draw at Grazer AK (away)
- Altach's last game: 3–0 home win over Wolfsberger AC
