"After two years without silverware, Salzburg are aiming to be crowned Austrian champions again this season. The club from Mozart's birthplace had won the Austrian Bundesliga ten times in a row before finally having to give way to Sturm Graz in the last two seasons. With five matchdays left in the main round of matches, Salzburg top the table with a three-point lead over second-placed Linzer ASK. Participation in the championship round is therefore virtually certain."
"Red Bull Salzburg are coached by Thomas Letsch. In front of goalkeeper Alexander Schlager are talented centre-backs Joane Gadou and Jacob Rasmussen. Former Gladbach player Stefan Lainer and Frans Krätzig, who moved to Salzburg from FC Bayern in the summer, play at full-back. Mads Bidstrup is the captain in midfield, doubling up at number six with Soumaïla Diabaté."
"Behind top scorer Petar Ratkov (12 goals so far) are the highly talented Kerim Alajbegovic (who joined from Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the summer), Edmund Baidoo and Moussa Yeo. Other options include the equally talented Yorbe Vertessen and Sota Kitano, as well as the experienced Karim Onisiwo (formerly of Mainz 05)."
Red Bull Salzburg aim to reclaim the Austrian Bundesliga title after a two-year trophy drought following Sturm Graz's recent dominance. With five matchdays left in the main round, Salzburg lead the table by three points over Linzer ASK, making the championship round almost certain. In the Europa League Salzburg risk elimination after a 1-0 defeat at SC Freiburg and remain four points outside the play-off positions with two group games to play against Basel and Aston Villa. Thomas Letsch manages a squad featuring goalkeeper Alexander Schlager, strong centre-backs, attacking talents and top scorer Petar Ratkov (12 goals).
