Wattens - Blau-Weiß Linz predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Wattens on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Losing a home game is never easy especially when two teams are so close to one another. Ut that’s exactly what happened to Wattens in the last round when they suffered a narrow Austria Wien defeat after falling behind during the first 45 minutes.

Blau-Weiß Linz had home-field advantage in their previous Tipico Bundesliga bout, but it wasn’t enough to stave off the 1.86 pre-match betting odds clearly painting them as the underdogs. Many were surprised that they maintained a strained draw until the second half, but that status quo was broken as the away team scored the decider.

Wattens have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Tipico Bundesliga matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Our confidence in Blau-Weiß Linz and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.25 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
