After four championships in series, however, the title win in the 2018/19 season for Red Bull Salzburg could mean a milestone. The Austrian champion has a fixed place in the upcoming Champions League season. The first participation in the premier class is so close to grasp. There should be no motivation for the bulls after the end of the Europa League. Above all, only four points ahead of the LASK are no comfortable cushion. In the basic round, however, Salzburg was hardly a naked man and presents himself especially strong at home. The Rose-Elf has a 9-2-0 record and only conceded six goals. In general, the defense is strong and in the last three league games Cican Stankovic had to get a ball out of his case.

In terms of personnel, Marco Rose (after 102 competitive matches he has an excellent score of 2.32 points) still has to do without defender Marin Pongracic and Zlatko Junuzovic. Youngster Hannes Wolf is injured and probably not yet ready to use! Nevertheless, there are no personnel bottlenecks, Salzburg has a broad cadre that can easily compensate for these losses. With Szoboszlai these days, the next top talent with his athletic achievements is causing a sensation.
