Although Sturm have made themselves the clear 2nd force in Austrian football, Salzburg retain a huge financial and structural advantage.

What's interesting about Sturm's title wins is that they both came with their lowest expected points totals out of the last few seasons. RB Salzburg have continued to out perform the rest of the league on underlying performance level, including this season where they currently lie top of the league.
In some of Europe's least competitive leagues, disruptors are coming out of the woodwork to mount serious challenges. In the first part of my series looking at some of these disruptors, i focused on Austria, and Sturm Graz's successive titles - toppling the Salzburg arm of the Red Bull Network.
As well planned as Celtic’s chance creation attempts today
