Blau-Weiß Linz - Sturm Graz predictions

Blau-Weiß Linz are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Tipico Bundesliga, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.25, it’s not very likely to happen.

With 1.85 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.

Blau-Weiß Linz surprised everyone with their excellent performance in the last round. They were fighting an uphill battle as visitors against Austria Wien with a draw result at half-time. However, they pulled ahead later in the game, securing 3 more points in a 0:1 victory.

Sturm Graz are coming on the back of a hard-fought victory at Rheindorf Altach. The draw in the first half was unexpected given the fact that Rheindorf Altach were seen as the stronger team – but the 0:2 final score caught even the most optimistic of fans by surprise.

With two consecutive matches with 1 goal or fewer, games in which Blau-Weiß Linz play are not the best for Over markets.

Sturm Graz’s defence has been flawless for the last 3 matches with a grand total of zero goals conceded.

Sturm Graz’s confidence is further boosted by the decisive victory they scored against Blau-Weiß Linz last season. They won that match with a solid lead, and most bookmakers online are expecting a similar outcome from this bout.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

This match is a bit tough to find value in, so you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. An HT/FT Draw/Away bet at odds of 4.25 is not exactly probable, but it’s clearly the best offer in terms of value.
