LASK Linz - Wattens betting tips and odds

LASK Linz should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Saturday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.38.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of LASK Linz and the fact that Wattens are given 8.00 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Wattens victory would be a shocking surprise.

LASK Linz hit a snag in their Tipico Bundesliga campaign last week as they lost 2:0 to Blau-Weiß Linz despite being marked as the favourites in that matchup. Moreover, they were completely unable to get into their stride and were behind for most of the game’s runtime.

Wattens are coming on the back of a decisive 5:1 victory in the previous round’s home game, which can be considered a major upset of what most bookies expected. The odds on them winning were at 2.30, yet they led the proceedings throughout – and the goal difference was not negligible, either.

The first step LASK Linz need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Wattens are on a bit of a losing streak when it comes to away games. They’ve lost 3 of them consecutively.

Most online sportsbooks agree that LASK Linz are more likely to win this match, which goes against what we’ve seen from this matchup last season. Wattens recorded a decisive victory on that occasion, which means an upset this Saturday is not impossible.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
