Sturm Graz - LASK Linz predictions

Sturm Graz are easily the favourites in the match this Sunday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.97 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but LASK Linz may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with LASK Linz seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.65, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

In the previous round, most Tipico Bundesliga betting predictions went with the obvious choice of expecting Sturm Graz to win. After all, they were the hosts. However, the match never really went anywhere for them, ultimately ending with an HT/FT draw after a long and indecisive struggle.

The latest 1:0 home win by LASK Linz was quite predictable – it went down the way most betting predictions said it would. They secured an early lead against Rheindorf Altach and carried it all the way to the final 1:0 result.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Sturm Graz 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.

Top bookmakers online are offering short odds on LASK Linz winning to Nill because they haven’t conceded a single goal for the past 3 matches.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Tipico Bundesliga season, the hosts already recorded a victory over LASK Linz. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 1.97 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
