LASK Linz - Salzburg predictions

While LASK Linz winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Salzburg, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Salzburg have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

LASK Linz are coming off from a narrow 1:0 away defeat in the previous round. The home-field disadvantage and a very difficult match-up against Sturm Graz ensured that they spent most of the game trailing behind.

Salzburg are here on the back of rather poor performance in their previous Tipico Bundesliga game. The odds seemed stacked in their favour with both home-field advantage and 5.71 betting odds for their victory. Despite all of this, however, the game ended up being a protracted stalemate, ending in an HT/FT 1:1 draw.

LASK Linz’s previous two matches were quite uneventful, all things considered. They both featured only one goal – or no goals at all.

Salzburg and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 Tipico Bundesliga matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

Despite their position as favourites, Salzburg already lost this matchup earlier in the season. This bit of information shines a new light on the 1.82 odds which most bookies are offering for their victory.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 3.84 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
