LASK Linz bring a five-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming Austrian Bundesliga clash at home with Rapid Vienna at their Raiffeisen Arena and on the back of a resounding and comprehensive 5-1 victory away from home at Hartberg.
Monday night’s hosts sit top of the Austrian Championship Round table but are still tied on 30 points apiece with 2nd placed Sturm Graz while the chasing clubs such as RB Salzburg and Rapid Vienna are also breathing down their necks, so LASK will no doubt be keen to grab all three points here.
Recent previous victories over the likes of RB Salzburg and Austria Vienna respectively will give Dietmar Kuhbauer’s side plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming encounter, as well as the hosts possessing a solid looking home record of 8-3-3 23/17.
Rapid Vienna occupy 4th place in the Championship Round table following the division spilt at the end of the regular domestic top flight season but the visitors’ recent results have been pretty ordinary by comparison to their upcoming hosts.
Despite gaining a 1-0 home win over RB Salzburg last time out in the Austrian top flight, Rapid Vienna had also been dealt two previous defeats within their last five league matches after suffering losses at the hands of Hartberg and Sturm Graz respectively.
An overall away record standing at 5-6-3 16/16 suggests Johannes Thorup’s side are best equipped for perhaps a point at the Raiffeisen Arena rather than all three and their last visit to face LASK Linz on the road resulted in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
The Betting Verdict
LASK Linz’s recent performances suggest the hosts should get over the line in this one.
The Pick :
LASK Linz 2-1 Rapid Vienna
