First Vienna vs Ried tips and predictions

Away side too short in betting for 2. Liga fixture

When these sides lock horns it's almost certain to deliver some goals so it should make for a good spectacle.

To start this preview with a disclaimer; this strategy is pushing the envelope but the away side price is too short.

The hosts have looked polished during their last 3 home games, winning all of them. Conversely the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 4 of their last 10 matches. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that would be such a short price.

First Vienna will need to hope that their rivals are out of sorts. They must also drill into what they've done well recently. On their own turf they have been prolific. Their recent 3 home matches have seen them knocking in an average of 3.3 goals per game and at the back they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 3 games.

Ried have had a few wobbles on the road; they've conceded at least once in 16 of their last 20 away matches. But this will all be irrelevant if they've had enough time to turn things around at the back for this match. They are the favourites after all.

Winning might be too much but they can pinch something here. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that both sides can score despite the favouritism for Ried. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the better idea from that market.
