Lustenau's picture is choppier. Eight wins, five draws and seven losses from their sample, with 30 scored but 25 conceded, shows a side capable of goals but also leaking plenty at the other end.

Salzburg's attacking output stands out even allowing for the mixed competitions involved.

Comparative Team Statistics: Red Bull Salzburg vs Austria Lustenau

History heavily favours Salzburg

Every recorded meeting between these two has gone Salzburg's way, including a 7-0 and a 0-6 scoreline on Lustenau's own ground. Even the tighter games, like a 0-1 cup tie, still ended with a Salzburg win.

That's history rather than a guarantee, but it's a one-sided record all the same.

Table reflects the pattern

Salzburg sit second with 17 points from seven games, having won five and lost none. Lustenau are down in eighth with eight points from the same number of matches, winning just twice.

The gap in the table lines up with both the recent form and the head-to-head record.
