Blau-Weiß Linz - Hartberg predictions

Blau-Weiß Linz are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.00 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Hartberg may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

Hartberg appear severely unprepared for a clash with Blau-Weiß Linz, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.69 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

While Blau-Weiß Linz’s previous loss will hurt their Tipico Bundesliga standings, it shouldn’t have affected their confidence too much. After all, they were fighting against overwhelming odds as visitors, so the narrow 1:0 loss against Rapid Wien isn’t exactly devastating.

Blau-Weiß Linz’s previous away game against Wattens was not terribly exciting, but the : draw can be seen as a minor success. Neither side managed to get ahead of their opponents in either half of the game, but Hartberg’s opponents were seen as the favourites at kick-off.

Last season, the hosts met Hartberg and walked away with a remarkable, convincing victory. They’re still considered strong favourites because of this, though it’s worth keeping in mind that some time has passed since then.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 2.01. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
