Week 7 brings us a match on Sep 3rd, where Salzburg will play host to Wattens in a Tipico Bundesliga match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Salzburg recorded a 6-0 blowout win against Austria Lustenau. Fernando scored the first goal for Salzburg in the 16th minute on a penalty kick, then Kjaergaard added another in the 20th minute In the end, Austria Lustenau couldn’t muster any offence and Salzburg ran away with the shutout win. Salzburg should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches, while 6th placed Wattens is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Wolfsberger AC. Žan Rogelj struck first for Wattens in the 5th minute, then Jasic tied it up for Wolfsberger AC in the 15th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 60th minute on a goal by Boakye. Wattens is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Salzburg won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Wattens is fortunate enough to have Tim Prica in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored four goals. Salzburg’s top weapon lately has been Fernando, who has 3 goals in the last five matches.
