Ried vs LASK
Austria – Bundesliga
Date: 18 February 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET
Venue: Josko Arena, Ried.
Ried will host LASK at the Josko Arena on Saturday for their upcoming league match.
Ried come into the match on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Hartberg. The defeat extends their winless run to five league matches.
Christian Heinle’s team are currently bottom of the league in 12th place with 13 points after 17 matches.
Their opponents, LASK won their last league match 1-0 against Altach. The win extends their unbeaten run to two matches in the league.
As a result Dietmar Kühbauer’s team are currently 3rd in the league with 30 points after 17 matches.
We are counting on LASK to pull off a win here. LASK have been in fine form in recent times. They have only lost one of their last six games. They have also won three of those matches.
Ried, on the other hand, are currently struggling for form. They are winless in their last five league matches. They have also lost three of those matches.
We don’t expect many goals in this match. Ried have seen three or more goals in four of their past 10 home matches. But most of these matches delivered such a display due to their opponents, who scored goals at a good rate. LASK have also seen three or more goals in just three of their past 10 away matches.
Also, the last 5 matches between the two teams have all produced fewer than three goals. By the looks of things, a low-scoring affair is expected this weekend.
LASK are in fine form going into the match. Furthermore, Ried have had a poor form going into the match including a winless run of five league matches.
A victory for LASK at 1.70 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
For the second tip, under 2.5 goals at 1.70 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
