The 3-2 away defeat to Rapid Vienna will not have sat easily with the Red Bull Salzburg squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  They achieved 66% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Rapid Vienna's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.  

With 23 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Pepijn Lijnders will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 8 goals in the same period.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 12 games in a row.  

Karim Konaté will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Red Bull Salzburg.

Austria Klagenfurt will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their home outing against Blau-Weiss Linz.  In that game they recorded 57 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 3 shots on goal.  

Manager Peter Pacult will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
