This match is a meeting of the two most in-form teams in the league, with Salzburg winning 4 straight while SK Rapid are unbeaten in 5 straight. But looking at the last 5 head-to-head meetings, Salzburg have won only 2 (2-1, 4-2) and lost 3, all of which ended with a margin of just 1 goal, except the latest loss 0-1. In this game, Salzburg have a strong home record, averaging 2.25 goals per game this season, while SK Rapid concede 20% of their total goals in the 1-15 minute period, which is a phase Salzburg like to attack from the start. The first thing to watch after kickoff is whether Salzburg can press from the opening to exploit SK Rapid's early-game vulnerability.
