Red Bull Salzburg vs WSG Tirol Preview – Match Preview
Red Bull Salzburg’s form has been up and down this month. They started October with a 2-0 loss to Lyon in the Europa League but bounced back with a 2-1 win over Rapid Wien in the Bundesliga.
After that, they had a 2-2 home draw with Altach and then lost again in Europe, 3-2 to Ferencvaros, where Edmund Baidoo and Yorbe Vertessen scored.
Last weekend, Red Bull Salzburg got back on track with a strong 3-0 away win against Austria Wien, with Sota Kitano standing out with one goal and one assist.
On the other hand, WSG Tirol have been struggling in the new Bundesliga season. They have only 12 points from 10 matches and are currently 10th in the table.
They went through a bad run recently, losing three matches in a row — 2-1 to Red Bull Salzburg, 2-0 to Ried, and 3-2 to Austria Wien.
However, they finally ended their poor form last weekend with a 2-0 home win over BW Linz, thanks to goals from Marco Boras and Valentino Muller.
