The Austrian side is top of the table after 2 matches with 6 points and even though this is a friendly, would look to continue the good form against a class Barcelona side.
On the other hand, Barcelona have been on song in pre-season winning all their matches.
After victories against Gimnastic and Girona, they beat Stuttgart comfortably 3-0 on Saturday with goals from Depay, Demir and Puig.

Barcelona will play their final pre-season match after this against Juventus before they kick start their La Liga campaign against Sociedad.
Hence, Koeman would want his side to continue the good show as they enter the new season.
This will a first-time meeting between the two sides at any competitive level of football.

Prediction: Salzburg 0-3 Barcelona
Barcelona is in scintillating form ahead of the next season and they look to continue the fine form.
We expect them to win this one comfortably against Salzburg due to the squad strength and talent available.
Koeman’s side could get this wrapped up in quick time.
