Ich gehe in Salzburg von einer Topleistung aus" - Kronen Zeitung

FC Red Bull Salzburg will face Austria Lustenau in a Bundesliga match on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 14:30 local time in the Red Bull Arena, according to Ligaportal. The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sport Austria. The teams will compete under the supervision of referee Julian Weinberger. Salzburg, currently second in the Bundesliga, aims to secure a victory to pressure leader Rapid, which plays later the same day. This will be the third Bundesliga match in a short span against a team from the Ländle region, following their recent cup victory over SW Bregenz.

Salzburg’s coach, Danny Röhl, emphasized the need for a focused and concentrated performance, citing the team’s recent challenges in converting chances. “We are aware of the task and aim to win to put pressure on Rapid,” Röhl said. Austria Lustenau, fresh from a cup victory over Sturm Graz, enters the match with renewed confidence, though they have lost five of their last six league games. Salzburg’s defender Valentin Zabransky expressed belief in a strong performance, stating, ‘We are convinced that if we focus on our game, we will improve from the Bregenz match and leave as winners.’.

Key Injuries and Historical Context

Salzburg faces injury setbacks, with John Mellberg and Jesper Lindstrom sidelined. Lindstrom’s absence was confirmed after he left Friday’s training early due to a muscle injury. Mellberg also sustained a muscle injury in the thigh during the Bregenz match. Despite this, Röhl highlighted the squad’s readiness, noting, ‘We have many hungry and willing players.’ Historically, Salzburg has dominated Bundesliga encounters against Austria Lustenau, winning all four meetings in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons without conceding.

Cup Win Boosts Austria Lustenau’s Morale

Austria Lustenau’s recent 3-2 cup victory over Sturm Graz has energized the team. Doppeltorschütze Lenn Jastremski said the win provided “a huge boost” ahead of the league clash.
