Red Bull Salzburg vs Wolfsberger Prediction and Betting Tips | December 14th 2025

Red Bull Salzburg will host Wolfsberger at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday in the 17th round of the 2025-26 Austrian Bundesliga campaign. The hosts will be keen to build on their last result in the league when they play this weekend to avoid relinquishing the top spot on the league table.

Salzburg ended their three-match winless streak in the league last weekend by registering a comfortable 2-0 win over bottom-placed BW Linz, but will be up against much stronger opposition on Sunday.

Thomas Letsch’s side narrowly missed out on winning the league title last season, finishing two points shy of first-placed Sturm Graz in the post-season playoffs, but have been impressive for most of this season and will hope to continue in such form going into the second half of the season.

Wolfsberger’s 2-1 win over Austria Wien, secured despite being down to 10 men, marked Ismail Atalan's side's first victory in five matches, moving them into fifth place on the league table. The visitors have struggled to string together a consistent run of results for most of this season and will need to make significant improvements in the coming weeks or risk falling out of the championship round qualification spots.

Red Bull Salzburg vs Wolfsberger Prediction

Die Roten Bullen are favorites to get the win thanks to their much better offensive record and home advantage, and will only need to avoid complacency to get a result.

WAC will fancy their chances of securing at least a point, thanks to their slightly better defensive record, but will require something special to avoid defeat at a ground where they have historically struggled.
