Ried - Blau-Weiß Linz predictions

The online bookies marked Ried as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Blau-Weiß Linz winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Blau-Weiß Linz will have little to hope for in this match. 4.08 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Tipico Bundesliga disappointment. Ried suffered a disappointing Salzburg away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Saturday.

Blau-Weiß Linz are coming off from a narrow home defeat against LASK Linz. Most bookmakers online anticipated the 0:1 result, but it should be mentioned that they went toe-to-toe with LASK Linz for the first 45 minutes.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Ried’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Blau-Weiß Linz’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 7 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

Ried clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Blau-Weiß Linz, but it was a rather narrow victory.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.82 odds.
