Salzburg 1-3 Hartberg result, stats and report

Salzburg dismantled a depleted and disorganised Mjällby side 3-0 in the UEFA Europa League, with Karim Konaté scoring twice and Haris Tabakovic adding a third to confirm a dominant home performance.

Hartberg edged out Ried 3-2 in a five-goal Austrian Bundesliga encounter on Sunday, with the home side doing enough to hold on despite a late Ried comeback that made the final stages far more uncomfortable than they needed to be.

Salzburg put on a ruthless display at home, hammering SK Rapid 5-1 with a blistering first half that killed the contest before it had really started. Haris Tabakovic scored twice inside 21 minutes and the result was never seriously in doubt.

Salzburg put four past Austria Wien in a commanding Austrian Bundesliga performance, with three goals in the first half setting the tone for a result that tells you everything you need to know about where these two clubs currently stand.

Grazer AK host Salzburg on Saturday having conceded 13 goals in their last five Austrian Bundesliga matches. Salzburg arrive with four wins from five and goals flowing freely.

Salzburg arrive in Bulgaria on the back of four unbeaten Europa League matches and three clean sheets from four. Levski Sofia have no recorded form in this competition. The gap looks significant.

Salzburg host Sturm Graz on Sunday carrying a significant injury list and an xG figure that suggests they are creating far more than the scoreboard shows. The question is whether a depleted squad can hold its structure long enough to turn that promise into points.

Hartberg have not won a home league game in nine attempts, and LASK Linz arrive on the back of five consecutive victories. The structural mismatch here is significant.
