Austria Tipico Bundesliga predictions and odds

That’s why we here at Betting Fellow are making these league overviews.

We’re continuing our overview of European professional football leagues with the Austrian Football Bundesliga.

Austria Tipico Bundesliga Predictions

20/08/2022

Salzburg - Austria Klagenfurt

Top bookmakers online have made Salzburg overwhelming favourites in this match and judging by the available odds it’s hard to see past a comprehensive home win here.

Considering what they’re up against, Austria Klagenfurt can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 19.00 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Things turned out rather well for Salzburg last ime out against Wolfsberger AC. An early lead led... read more

Rheindorf Altach - Austria Lustenau

Rheindorf Altach are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

Austria Lustenau are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.25 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit. read more

Sturm Graz - LASK Linz

Though Sturm Graz are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

LASK Linz are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Sturm Graz supporters at Merkur Arena were treated to a decisive, but relatively unexciting home win last round. The host... read more

Wolfsberger AC - LASK Linz

Wolfsberger AC have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.70 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

LASK Linz should be able to win this one, but such an outcome won’t come easily. The 2.45 betting odds on them winning indicate that it will be a close match - Wolfsberger AC are no pushovers.

Wolfsberger AC’s form can only be described as shaky. Their previous away game against Rheindorf Altach saw the... read more

Ried - Sturm Graz

Ried have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Sturm Graz. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

With 2.15 odds for an away win, Sturm Graz have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

Ried overcame Austria Lustenau with a narrow yet convincing 1:... read more

Hartberg - Salzburg

Hartberg are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 10.00, no punter will dare backing them up against Salzburg. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

A trip to Hartberg can hardly be seen as a big test for Salzburg. With 1.30 betting odds stacked in their favour, it’s hard seeing past anything other than a compelling away win here.

The hosts have a chance to make amends for the Wattens def... read more

Austrian Football Bundesliga History and General Info

This is the top-tier national league in Austria, and it consists of the 12 biggest and most successful association football teams in the country. And yes, we realise that the name is a bit of a mouthful and will be annoying to repeat throughout this article – but it is important to note that most top-tier national sports competitions in Austria are dubbed Bundesliga, and it is just as important to differentiate it from its somewhat more famous cousin in Germany.

This league ranks as the twelfth best national league in Europe, as per UEFA’s association coefficient rankings. It reached the 16th position at the end of the 2015-16 season, which means it also gained its first spot for the UEFA Champions League the next year.

It is currently known as the Tipico Bundesliga, due to a sponsorship deal with the bookmaker Tipico.

The first efforts towards creating a unified national league in Austria began at the very start of the 20th century. The efforts resulted in the introduction of the first Austrian football championship in 1911. The very best teams at the time competed as parts of the First Class, as part of the same championship.

From 1924, the league was considered professional and changed its name to the First League. It is also important to note that Austria is officially a federation of 9 states. Back in the day, only teams from Lower Austria – the state of Vienna and its surroundings – were allowed to compete. This lasted to 1937, after which the league was elevated to a truly national level. At this point, the Austrian Football Association was responsible for how the Austrian Football Bundesliga was run and managed.

The second half of the 20th century saw Austrian football divided over many issues, such as representatives of amateur and professional clubs not agreeing on how the Austrian Football Bundesliga should be managed. As such, the current format of this league, and its status as the undisputed highest level of football in the country, did not come about until 1974.

In 1991, the league was reconstituted as a federation, meaning they were largely independent of most of the other levels of the competition. They are still part of the Association, only they carry their own responsibilities as a separate entity.

A typical championship year is divided into two smaller seasons: an autumn season and a spring season. Typically, all of this lasts from July to June next year.

The Austrian Football Bundesliga has a fairly standard format. The 10 teams each play every other team twice, once on home ground and once away. They are then ranked based on acquired points, where every game won awards a team 3 points, and a draw game awards only 1.

At the end of the season, the team with the least points is relegated to the Second League (Currently known as the Sky Go Erste Liga).

The best-placed team is named Austrian champion and qualifies for the UEFA Champions League along with the runners-up. The 3rd and 4th placed teams enter the qualification rounds for the Europa League, along with the winner of the Austrian Cup.

The most decorated team in the history of the Austrian Football Bundesliga is Rapid Wien with 32 titles and 26 second places. Behind them is Austria Wien with 24 titles and 19 runner-up positions, followed by Red Bull Salzburg with 13 titles.

The overall top scorer throughout the league’s history is Hans Krankl, who played for several teams throughout his career. He is an extremely prolific striker with 270 goals over 361 appearances. Next in line is Ivica Vastić with 187 goals over 441 appearances.

The record for most appearances instead goes to Heribert Weber with an impressive 579 matches total.


Austrian Football Bundesliga Derby Matches

Wiener Derby

This derby is probably the biggest of its kind in Austria, and is the matchup between the two biggest teams from the capital of Vienna: FK Austria Wien and SK Rapid Wien. Although their glory days are behind them, these are still the most decorated teams in Austria’s history, making for some very exciting matches.

Support today is mainly split along geographical lines: the northern and western parts of Vienna are Rapids’, while the city’s couth is synonymous with FK Austria. However, historically speaking this rivalry has some sociological underpinnings, which explains its importance to Austrian football culture. Namely, Rapid was founded as the “Worker’s Club” of Vienna, leaving Austria as the “bourgeois” team.

In a similar fashion, a lot of Austria’s cities have their own city derbies. These include the Graz derby between Grazer AK and Sturm Graz, the Linz Derby between FC Blau-Weiß Linz and LASK Linz, and several smaller ones.

Austrian Football Superliga Best Stadiums

Red Bull Arena

Also known as the EM-Stadion Wals-Siezenheim and, during UEFA club football event, as Stadion Salzburg. This is, somewhat predictably, the home ground of Red Bull Salzburg. It was opened in 2003 and can host just over 31,000 spectators.

Allianz Stadion

This stadium was built on the site as the old Gerhard Hanappi Stadium to be the new home of Rapid Wien. To comply with UEFA’s sponsorship regulations, it also sometimes uses its non-commercial name Weststadon. Construction started in 2014 after a ceremonial demolition of Rapid’s previous home and was finalised in 2016. The Allianz Stadion can house 28,000 people.
