It has been a fine run of form in the Austrian Bundesliga for Salzburg, who enter this clash seeking a third straight win when they lock horns with SK Rapid at the Red Bull Arena on matchday four. With two wins in their last three home meetings against this opponent, our prediction is for a Salzburg win.
Salzburg are sitting in third place with ten points in the standings. This currently sees them two points behind the table toppers, SK Rapid.
If not perfect, then the Red Bulls have been at their best this season as they have yet to lose in nine matches across all competitions. During this period, a whopping 24 goals have been scored.
In the Austrian Bundesliga, they've gone four games without defeat, recording three wins and a solitary draw. This includes a recent 4-1 home thrashing of Austria Vienna.
SK Rapid have had a few hiccups here and there, but their league form has been terrific.
The Green-Whites are one of two teams, alongside LASK, that have maintained a 100% record thus far, winning each of their four opening games.
Their most recent match was a comfortable 3-1 home victory over Sturm Graz. That result served as consolation for their elimination in the Europa Conference League after a 4-3 penalty loss against Hearts in the playoffs.

Our Salzburg vs Rapid Wien Prediction
Salzburg are unbeaten in their last nine matches since the start of the 2026-27 season and have a better record compared to their opponent, which should come to handy as they search for their third consecutive league win.
The hosts are winless in their last three league encounters against SK Rapid, and judging by the visitors' away performance, that record could come to an end. Last season, SK Rapid ended the campaign on a five-match winless run on the road. That poor showing is enough to strengthen our pick for an away win. Our Salzburg vs SK Rapid prediction is Salzburg wins.
