LASK Linz vs Salzburg: match statistics
Salzburg leads the table, but LASK Linz shows impressive home form with 67% wins and just 11% losses at their own stadium. The hosts are in excellent condition, winning four of their last five matches, with an average of 2.2 points per game. Salzburg has an advantage in possession (59% vs 54%) and has never failed to score away from home, however, as many as 44% of their away matches end in draws. The balanced xG values of both teams (around 1.6) and similar defensive efficiency (LASK 1.0 vs Salzburg 1.11 goals conceded) suggest a closely contested match. Considering LASK's strength at home and Salzburg's tendency to draw away, I expect a tight match with a slight advantage for the hosts, where a draw is the most likely outcome.
