LASK Linz - Austria Klagenfurt predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Austria Klagenfurt may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of LASK Linz and the 5.31 odds given to Austria Klagenfurt to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

The hosts are coming off of a decisive 1:4 away win in their most recent Tipico Bundesliga match. Most bookmakers online saw them winning as the most likely outcome, but the fact they kept ahead for most of the game and recorded a convincing result is still reassuring to their supporters.

The away team’s home supporters were in for a painful show in the previous round, with Austria Klagenfurt facing LASK Linz on their home turf. Much like most predictions and bookies expected, their defences quickly crumbled and they were already behind at the 45-minute mark. This goal difference only increased with time, ultimately ending in a 1:4 loss.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from LASK Linz and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Tipico Bundesliga outings.

The home team already displayed their dominance earlier in the season. They boast a decisive victory over Austria Klagenfurt, leaving no doubt about who the favourites are. That’s why the odds are fairly representative, though upsets are always possible.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.
