Blau-Weiß Linz - Sturm Graz betting tips and odds

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Blau-Weiß Linz fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Sturm Graz would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

The most likely outcome of this match is Sturm Graz walking away with three more points. That said, both a draw and a home win are still on the table, though both are relatively risky propositions.

Though Blau-Weiß Linz are here after an away defeat in the previous round against Rapid Wien , that performance does not offer an accurate assessment of their form. They played as visitors against an overwhelmingly stronger opponent, so perhaps the draw in the first half and 1:0 loss aren’t too bad.

The visitors will be high on confidence following a compelling 2:0 victory over Austria Lustenau. They started the game slowly but still managed to pick it up after the break and record a big-margin win.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Blau-Weiß Linz may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Sturm Graz don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Sturm Graz already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

We can look forward to an exciting game as both teams have their full lineups available, thanks to no suspensions or injuries.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.85 odds offered at Betsson.
