Salzburg will travel to take on Josko Ried in Austrian Bundesliga matchday one fixture on Saturday. The Red Bulls will aim to open their campaign this season on a winning note against the newly promoted Maximilian Senft's side. Here is our prediction for the match.
Midfielder Bernhard Luxbacher's 89th-minute equalizer for First Vienna denied Josko Ried four wins on the bounce during the run-in in the Austrian second tier last season. Nevertheless, a three-match winning streak was enough to secure the Ried im Innkreis club their third Liga 2 title and promotion to the elite division.
Maximilian Senft's men opened this season's campaign on a promising note, thrashing Parndoff 5-0 in Austrian Cup first round. They boast a potent attack, but have struggled with fragile defense, scoring and conceding in six of their last eight competitive matches.
Salzburg rounded off last season, finishing second in the rankings with 38 points - two behind league champions Sturm Graz. This was followed by a disappointing campaign in the FIFA Club World Cup.
However, the 17-time Austrian champions have been running riot on domestic opponents lately. They have scored two or more goals in their last five competitive domestic matches. This includes a 4-0 away thrashing of lower division side Dietach in Austrian Cup first round in their last match.
