Title defence meets a Salzburg reset
Salzburg held their pre-match press conference on 24 October, but no attributable tactical comments or expert assessments are available. Their third-place finish last season prompted a squad reshuffle and the appointment of Danny Rohl. No numerical comparison of the teams’ strength beyond the league standings is available.
Our pick: goals at both ends
Our selection for LASK Linz against Red Bull Salzburg is Both Teams To Score - Yes 1.38. LASK average 2.56 league goals per match and have scored 10 in four home fixtures: their contribution is the stronger part of this bet. Salzburg’s 21 goals in nine league games suggest enough attacking threat to answer, even away from home.
The head-to-head support is specific: six of the last eight meetings featured goals from both clubs. The main counterweight is Salzburg’s defence, with just two goals conceded in four league away games; both teams have scored in only four of nine league matches for each side. That makes this a measured selection rather than a high-confidence call. Karim Konate and Damir Redzic are doubtful, and confirmed line-ups are unavailable, so Salzburg’s attacking options need checking before kick-off. A plausible score is 2-1.
Final betting view
Both Teams To Score - Yes 1.38 is our pick, led by LASK’s home scoring and the visitors’ attacking output. Salzburg’s low away concession total is the clearest risk to the bet.

Home advantage outweighs Salzburg’s unbeaten start
The market assigns LASK a 43.1% chance of winning, Salzburg 32.2% and the draw 24.7%. The home preference reflects the contrast between LASK’s home results and Salzburg’s draw-heavy away record. The 1X2 line has shown no notable movement over 24 hours.
BTTS is priced at 67.1% and Under 3.5 goals at 55.3%, with neither market moving notably. BTTS is priced well above either club’s nine-game league frequency; the head-to-head results support it, but Salzburg’s away scoring record argues against treating it as a clear bet.
