Austria Championship Betting: Will Sturm Graz achieve the hat trick?
For many years, the championship in Austria was just like the one in Germany – except that in the Alpine republic, the serial champion is not Bayern Munich, but Red Bull Salzburg.
From 2014 to 2023, the “Bulls” were presented with the championship trophy, but this streak came to an end in 2024: Sturm Graz made it to the top in 2024 after previously finishing second twice.
Last season, the Graz team defended their championship title. If they manage to do so again, will Sturm Graz achieve a championship hat trick?
According to the Austrian championship bets and odds offered by online betting providers, the “Blackies” are not expected to achieve this before the start of the season.
The Graz team is only considered the first challenger in the Austrian championship betting odds, behind Red Bull Salzburg.
The club from Mozart’s city had its weakest season in the Red Bull era last season. However, this is set to change again in the 2025/26 season.
At the start of the season, top Austrian bookmakers such as Interwetten, Bet-at-home, and Bwin predict that Red Bull Salzburg will reestablish its former dominance in the Austrian Bundesliga.
In terms of quality, Salzburg has the best and most expensive squad in the Austrian Admiral Bundesliga. If they can translate that onto the pitch, bets on Salzburg to win the Austrian championship should prove profitable in the end.

Championship odds for the Austrian Bundesliga: Who still has a chance?
Since last season was marked by a four-way battle for the title until shortly before the end, the question naturally arises in Austrian championship betting whether there are any other title contenders besides Sturm and Salzburg.
After all, Wiener Austria finished third in the previous season, while Wolfsberger AC came fourth. Both even had a chance of winning the championship in the last round. And this time?
According to the Austrian championship odds, Austria is considered a co-favorite before the start of the season, while WAC is seen as a clear underdog. However, Wolfsberger won the ÖFB Cup last season, securing the first major title in the club’s history.
However, Rapid Vienna also appears to be ahead in the Austrian championship betting odds at the start of the season. The record champions finished a disappointing fifth last season. But with former Bundesliga coach Peter Stöger at the helm, the Green-Whites are clearly expected to do better.
