Austria Vienna vs LASK Linz Prediction: Both sides won’t have problem scoring

In the Round 16 matchup of the Austria Bundesliga, Austria Vienna is set to host LASK Linz at the Generali Arena. Below, I'll examine the match previews and explore potential betting possibilities.

Austria Vienna is seeking a better outcome in this match after a 1-0 loss in their previous Bundesliga game against Wolfsberger AC. During that match, Austria Vienna held 65% possession and had 16 shots at goal, with 5 of them on target. Wolfsberger AC, on the other hand, managed 9 attempts at goal, with 4 on target. Scott Kennedy scored in the 32nd minute for Wolfsberger AC.

Recent results underline the defensive prowess of Austria Vienna, conceding only 1 goal in their last 6 matches. It's worth noting that Austria Vienna has struggled against LASK Linz in the league, as they haven't secured a victory in their last 6 encounters. However, the home team boasts an unbeaten record in their last 6 league matches at home.

Following a loss in their recent Europa League match against Liverpool, LASK Linz and their traveling supporters are hopeful for a better result in this upcoming game. In that match, LASK Linz held 34% possession and attempted 7 shots on goal, with 3 on target. Liverpool, on the other hand, had 24 attempts at goal, with 9 on target. Luis Díaz (12th minute), Cody Gakpo (15th and 92nd minute), and Mohamed Salah (51st minute) were the scorers for Liverpool.

Over their last six matches, Thomas Sageder's LASK Linz has found the back of the net 10 times, resulting in an average of 1.67 goals per game. Reviewing pre-match facts, LASK Linz has been unable to secure a win against Austria Vienna in their last 2 away league matches. However, the visitors maintain an undefeated streak against Austria Vienna in their last 8 away league games.

Both teams possess quality, and undoubtedly, I anticipate a strong performance from both sides. However, it won't be an easy contest for either team. Given the offensive mentality expected, I foresee both teams finding the back of the net, with the match resulting in a draw at the end.
