Prediction for the 1st half
Sturm Graz have conceded in the first half in four consecutive home Bundesliga matches. That run is directly relevant to the selected bet, although four matches are not enough for a more confident assessment. The input data do not include separate first-half goals averages. We pick Red Bull Salzburg First-Half Team Total Goals - Over 0.5 at odds of 1.61*.
Total Goals Prediction
There have been fewer than 4.5 goals in 23 of Sturm Graz’s last 25 home matches. In their last ten home matches, Sturm have scored an average of 2.2 goals and conceded 1.2, while Salzburg’s away averages are 1.5 goals scored and 1.17 conceded. At the same time, Salzburg’s last six matches have all had over 2.5 goals, so a high-scoring match remains possible. Given the higher line selected, we’re backing Total Goals - Under 4.5 at odds of 1.30*.
Corners Prediction
RB Salzburg have taken more than 4.5 corners in six of their last seven away Bundesliga matches. They have also stayed under 7.5 corners in eight consecutive matches: these runs do not contradict each other, but they concern closely related figures for the same team. No average corner figures are available in the input data, so the reasoning is limited to these runs of matches. We pick RB Salzburg Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 at odds of 1.63*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Sturm Graz have scored in 16 of their last 17 home Bundesliga matches, while Red Bull Salzburg have scored in 22 of their last 24 matches. Over their last ten home matches, Sturm have averaged 2.2 goals, compared with Salzburg’s 1.5 in their last ten away matches. A factor against the bet is that Salzburg have conceded an average of 0.6 goals per away match this season. Nevertheless, we pick Both Teams to Score - Yes at odds of 1.38*.
High-Risk Bet
Sturm Graz have scored in the second half in eight consecutive home Bundesliga matches. Red Bull Salzburg have scored after the break in 11 of their last 12 Bundesliga matches. Both trends relate specifically to the second half, although the bet requires both teams to score in that same period. We pick Both Teams to Score in the Second Half - Yes at odds of 2.31*.
Safer Bet
In 21 of RB Salzburg’s last 22 Bundesliga matches, there were fewer than 5.5 goals. Sturm Graz’s home record offers further support for this line: 23 of their 25 home matches had fewer than 4.5 goals. The bet still allows for a high-scoring match, but requires the teams to score fewer than six goals combined. We pick Total Goals - Under 5.5 at odds of 1.10*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm’s calculations, the following scorelines made the top three: 1:1 (10.24%), 1:2 (9.49%) and 0:1 (8.13%). Of the three, 1:1 has the highest probability.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Red Bull Salzburg's strong attacking run is backed not only by their season statistics but also by their recent form: they have consistently scored at least two goals. Even away from home, the visitors maintain a high tempo and take their chances, while Sturm Graz's defence has not been reliable, conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game over their last ten matches. The visitors' motivation in the standings also encourages open attacking play. The main prediction is Red Bull Salzburg Team Total Goals - Over 1.5.
