**Salzburg's hosting a wounded Altach side that's spiraling — this should be a coronation, not a match.** 🎪 The hosts have injury chaos of their own, but with five players out, Altach's looking at a total collapse in form (1W in last 5) and personnel.

Salzburg bounced back from that Milan humbling with a draw at Grazer but then fell to Linz at home. Altach, meanwhile, are genuinely struggling: one win in five and losing to Grazer at the Cashpoint Arena last time out. This is damage control vs. free-fall.

Key storylines:

- **Salzburg's attacking depth** will be tested without five key bodies, but **Konaté, Kitano, and Baidoo** should still run circles around a patchy Altach back line
- **Altach's defensive frailty** (4 losses in 5, including 0-2 away to Lustenau) meets Salzburg's need to reassert dominance at Red Bull Arena
- **Stojanović's saves** will be under siege — Altach's last clean sheet feels like ancient history

Expected lineups:

- **Red Bull Salzburg**: Zawieschitzky, Boma, Schmid, Zabransky, Morgalla, Barry, Mazurek, Tabaković, Kitano, Baidoo, Konaté
- **SCR Altach**: Stojanović, Böckle, Milojević, Zech, Greil, Niehoff, Jäger, Demaku, Elongo-Yombo, Diawara, Hrstić

Prediction:

**Salzburg 3-0 Altach.** Slim pickings for Altach—Salzburg should walk it. 🔴
