2.35Tip and bets
Salzburg have put themselves in a very difficult position, having failed in the first half and are already 14 points behind Sturm. While there is still a chance to fight for the title, the Bulls are unlikely to give up and they will have plenty of motivation today, the pressure on Hartberg goal will most likely be enormous from the first minutes. The visitors are far from ideal in defense, and they are significantly inferior in class, the favorites should have no problems scoring goals.
We think that the guests will concede. The bet is Salzburg individual total over two goals . This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on the outcome
Salzburg are far from being in the best shape and have a number of personnel losses, but even in this situation they are the undisputed favorites. Hartberg are also far from being in the best shape, being only in the eighth place in the table, and the guests are also significantly inferior in class. It makes sense in this situation to give preference to the favorite and count on their confident victory.
