Robert Žulj scored in the 18th minute to give the hosts the lead and Gustavo Santos Costa's brace helped Altach record a comeback win.
The visitors made it two wins on the trot in the Bundesliga last week with a 5-1 home triumph over Blau-Weiß Linz, with Oscar Gloukh scoring a hat-trick. They met Twente in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round on Tuesday which ended in a 3-3 draw. They progressed to the play-off with a 5-4 win on aggregate.

LASK vs RB Salzburg Prediction
Die Schwarz-Weißen suffered their first loss of the season last week and will look to bounce back with a win. They are winless in their last two home games in the Austrian Bundesliga, conceding two goals apiece. They have failed to score in four of their last five home meetings against the visitors, which is a cause for concern.
Die Roten Bullen have enjoyed an unbeaten record in all competitions this season. They have scored at least three goals in four of their five games this season and will look to continue their goalscoring form here.
Considering the current form of the two teams and the visitors' dominance in this fixture, Salzburg are expected to register a comfortable win.
