If you’re looking for a fresh take on the BW Linz vs Salzburg prediction, you’re in the right place. This Bundesliga match, set for December 6, 2025, at 16:00 GMT, brings together two teams at opposite ends of the table. While Salzburg are sitting pretty at the top, BW Linz are fighting to escape the bottom. But as any football fan knows, the ball is round and anything can happen—especially in Austria!
When you hear Salzburg, you might think of a team that steamrolls everyone in its path. But the head to head stats tell a more interesting story. In their last 11 meetings, Salzburg have won 5, BW Linz 4, and 2 have ended in a draw. That’s not exactly one-way traffic! Even more interesting, the last seven games have seen Salzburg win 3, Linz 2, and 2 draws. The most recent encounter in August 2025 ended in a surprise 2-2 draw, with Linz holding their own away from home. Salzburg did manage 2-1 wins in both May and April, but Linz have shown they can make life difficult.
Let’s break down the current form:
Salzburg’s away form is strong, winning half of their last 20 road games, but recent stumbles mean Linz might fancy their chances of sneaking a point.
Injuries are piling up for both sides, but Salzburg’s squad depth is their secret weapon. Linz are missing Anderson (cruciate ligament), Goiginger (muscle), and Wetschka (foot). Salzburg have a laundry list of absentees, including Zawieschitzky, Mellberg, Gourna-Douath, Kjærgaard, Kitano, Kawamura, Omoregie, Vertessen, Onisiwo, and Chase. But with a squad valued at €130m (compared to Linz’s €12.23m), they can rotate without losing much quality.
Tactically, Salzburg love to keep the ball, expecting 56% possession here, while Linz will look to hit on the break. Expect Salzburg to push forward, with Linz hoping to soak up pressure and maybe nick a goal on the counter.
Let’s talk numbers, because that’s what we’re all here for! Our BW Linz vs Salzburg prediction is based on a blend of stats, recent form, and a little bit of gut feeling (the good kind).
Our AI sees this finishing 0:2 to Salzburg, with a half-time score of 0:1. Expect Salzburg to control the game (projected 56% possession), take more shots (13 to Linz’s 11), and test the keeper more often (5 shots on target vs 2). Corners and cards should be about even, but Salzburg’s superior finishing should make the difference.
Salzburg’s squad is worth more than ten times that of Linz, and they’re top of the league for a reason. But football is never that simple. Linz have managed to draw and even win at home against Salzburg in recent seasons, so there’s a glimmer of hope for the underdogs. Still, with Linz conceding the most penalties this season and struggling for form, the smart money is on Salzburg to get back to winning ways.
So, to sum up the BW Linz vs Salzburg prediction: Salzburg to win, over 1.5 goals, and maybe a cheeky bet on X2 if you’re feeling cautious. As always, expect the unexpected—but don’t bet your lunch money on a Linz upset!
