Hartberg - LASK Linz predictions

Beating LASK Linz will not be easy, but we believe Hartberg are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

LASK Linz are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Having won their last league outing, the hosts are feeling optimistic ahead of their Saturday fixture. Hartberg punched above their weight to claim a resounding Wattens away victory. This triumph came after a level half which tells us that Hartberg have plenty of drive in them and that they are ready to put up a fight when it’s most important.

LASK Linz won their previous Tipico Bundesliga matchup thanks to a late-game decider. They spent most of the game’s runtime toe-to-toe with Grazer AK, which was somewhat unexpected considering how one-sided the betting odds initially were.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Hartberg have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Looking over the stats for the away team, it seems they consistently display a remarkable ability to perform under pressure. They boast 5 goals on record in their latest 3 away games alone and there is no doubt they will be looking to get their name on the score board this time around as well.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two teams clash in this Tipico Bundesliga season. LASK Linz won the first time, though it was a narrow victory in a home game. That said, the 3.31 odds for them winning still mean that they’re the favourites.

No suspensions or injuries means both teams will have their full lineups available for a highly anticipated matchup.

Priced at 1.93 with Pncl, a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best offer in terms of betting value. It’s still quite risky, mind you, so we don’t recommend putting up a huge stake.
