RB Salzburg vs LASK Prediction

Salzburg have won the last 10 league titles on the bounce but are in danger of seeing their stranglehold on the title come to an end. They still have a shot at defending their title heading into the final day but do not have their destiny in their hands as they need to win while hoping Sturm Graz drop points against Austria Klagenfurt.

LASK, for their part, have already secured a top three finish and do not have anything on the line in this game.

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: RB Salzburg 2-1 LASK
