Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Red Bull Salzburg is 6.93, compared to 6.76 for Austria Vienna. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Red Bull Salzburg's highest-rated starter is K. Alajbegovic (7.30), while Austria Vienna's best-rated player is Lee Tae-Seok (7.05).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Red Bull Salzburg have contributed 29 goals and 19 assists this season, led by K. Alajbegovic (8G). Austria Vienna's starters account for 15 goals and 6 assists, spearheaded by M. Fischer (4G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Red Bull Salzburg deploy 4 defenders rated 6.90 on average, against Austria Vienna's 3-man backline averaging 6.82. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Red Bull Salzburg field 5 midfielders averaging 7.01, versus Austria Vienna's 4 rated 6.77. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Red Bull Salzburg start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.56, compared to 3 for Austria Vienna averaging 6.65. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 80% for Red Bull Salzburg and 73% for Austria Vienna. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Red Bull Salzburg's starters have collected 21 yellow cards this season, compared to 37 for Austria Vienna. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Red Bull Salzburg's starting XI is 21.8 (youngest: K. Alajbegovic (18), oldest: A. Schlager (29)), while Austria Vienna average 26.8 (youngest: V. Markovic (17), oldest: A. Dragovic (34)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Red Bull Salzburg's starters average 18 league appearances each, versus 20 for Austria Vienna. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
