As in 2022, their nearest challengers should be Sturm Graz. In the past three years, Salzburg’s title winning margin has ranged from 12 to 15 points. Salzburg had a substantial margin to take into the Championship round in 2021-22, but the gap may be as little as five points this season. Salzburg’s hold on Austrian football shows little sign of abating, although the gap between the top two as they reach the end of the first stage is less than last season. So, for only the second time in the past 10 years, Red Bull Salzburg will not be winning the double in Austria. Graz face LASK in the semi-final on April 5, the other semi is between Rapid Wien and SV Ried. Similarly, they were beaten by Graz in the quarter-finals of the Austrian Cup. Salzburg have won 17 of their 21 games and have lost just once, a 2-1 defeat in Graz. At the top of the table, Red Bull Salzburg have cemented their customary seat at the table and sit nine points clear of Sturm Graz, the only Austrian team to beat the champions this season. Three clubs are vying for the last two spots: Austria Klagenfurt, Austria Wien and WSG Tirol.
