LASK Linz vs Ried Prediction: can LASK maintain their league’s spot

LASK Linz will play host to Ried at the Raiffeisen Arena on Sunday. Both teams will be coming into this match following a comfortable midweek wins in the OFB cup.

After claiming the OFB cup with a 4-1 victory over SC Imst in the extra time of the tournament, the league leaders will enter this game to increase their advantage in the standings. The home team is off to a solid start in the 2022 season of the Austria Bundesliga, having won five of their first six matches. This indicates that the team is in good shape. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the home team will be able to keep up this level of performance when they go up against a Ried team that has been struggling recently.

This year, the performance of the away team has not been on par compared with the previous performance they had last season. They have only come away with two victories and two draws over the first six matches they have played against one another. They are at position 11 on the standings and have the same total number of points as Altach. Their play during the current season does not represent the level of defensive brilliance they possessed during the previous season, even though they had an outstanding performance during the previous season. They have only scored three goals in their last six matches, while they have allowed up seven goals in those outings. However, for Ried to clinch the victory, we believe that they will perform well against a LASK club that is currently performing well.

The two teams have won two matches each in their last five matches, while one match ended in a draw. However, we expect a different result in this match. LASK Linz is in very good form to get all the points.
