RB Salzburg vs Austria Vienna Prediction and Betting Tips | May 4th 2025

The Austrian Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as RB Salzburg and Austria Vienna lock horns at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday. Stephan Helm’s men will head into the weekend desperate to get one over the hosts, having failed to win any of their previous 22 meetings since May 2018.

Salzburg’s dreams of securing their first league title since 2023 took a fresh hit as they suffered a 2-1 loss against Wolfsberger at the Lavanttal-Arena last Sunday.

Thomas Letsch’s side have failed to win three of their most recent four matches — losing twice and claiming one draw — having kicked off the championship round with consecutive victories over Rapid Vienna and Linz.

Salzburg are currently third in the Bundesliga championship-round standings with 29 points, just one point behind third-placed Wolfsberger in the Europa League qualifying spot.

On the other hand, Austria Wien picked up consecutive wins for the first time since March as they edged out Sturm Graz 1-0 at the Merkur Arena last weekend.

This followed a 2-1 victory over Sturm Graz in the first of their two back-to-back league clashes on April 23, a result which saw their four-game winless run come to an end.

Austria Wien are on course to clinch the championship title as they sit top of the standings with 33 points, level on points with second-placed Sturm Graz heading into the final four games.
