RB Salzburg are looking to continue their winning start to the 2021-22 season in the Austrian Bundesliga at the CASHPOINT Arena on Saturday, where Altach await them.
With 10 wins from 10 games so far, Die Roten Bullen are running away with the league title once more as no team is even remotely close in sight.
For context, SK Sturm Graz, who're in second place, are 10 points behind.
Karim Adeyemi has been one of their chief driving factors, having scored eight goals in the campaign already.
The hosts for the weekend have endured a starkly contrasting set of fortunes.
Having collected only nine points, Altach languish second from bottom, and are currently without a win in exactly two months.
