Hartberg - LASK Linz predictions

Hartberg may come out on top this Wednesday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in LASK Linz. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 3.36 for the hosts to win.

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.

Hartberg will be full of confidence heading into the Wednesday clash. They recorded a compelling LASK Linz away victory last time out and will be keen to keep the momentum going. They were given 4.72 betting odds to claim three points but it’s fair to say not many people expected them to do so as impressively as they did.

Having conceded early in the match, LASK Linz trailed at the halftime of their previous league match against Hartberg but did nothing to get back in the game after the break. In the end, a heavy 1:3 home defeat is bound to leave a dent in their confidence ahead of the Wednesday clash.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

LASK Linz have a record of uneventful away matches. Specifically, their previous 2 games as visitors featured 1 goal or less.

LASK Linz are more likely to win this game despite the issues they’ve had with Hartberg earlier in the season. They were the hosts the last time we saw these two teams clash, and yet lost the game to a considerable goal difference.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
