Red Bull Salzburg vs SV Grödig
This is a derby of the round when looking at the table, but it is far from that. The leader has as many as 14-point lead compared to second-placed SV Grodig, so it's clear that Salzburg is practically already become a champion. They've already played one league match last week when were convincing against Wiener Neustadt (5:1). Also, they are easily won both duels this season against today's opponents, 4:1 and 3:0. Coach R. Schmidt has no important missings and not lost any important player during the transfer window. The team is in a very good mood after some excellent results in friendlies over the break (eg 3:0 against Bayern Munchen).
On the other hand, we have a newcomer in the league that had half-season of dreams, but remained without some important players since then. Actually, regular defenders D. Taboga and T. Zundel were forced out of the club due to match-fixing scandal. A top scorer P. Zulechner (15 of 46 team's goals) moved to Freiburg and key midfielder T. Salamon (12g and 13 ass last season) moved to Austria Wien. In addition, captain I. Cabrera, L. Schubert (df), P. Tschernegg, M. Potzmann (mf) and Tomi (fw) are not available due to injury or suspension. Taking into account the results of friendly matches, it seems to me that the team was unable to find adequate replacements and that will take time to better cope with the new situation. Wrong time to go at Red Bull Arena. However, only the first round after the winter break, the time when I avoid risk, but I have to try with interesting odds.
bet: Red Bull Salzburg win by three or more goals difference
odds: 2.50
stake: 1/5
