Hartberg vs LASK tips and predictions

Patience to be key for LASK

On 21 Bundesliga points, fifth placed Hartberg host third placed LASK. The visitors are just ahead of them with 24 points.

LASK are coming into the match looking for a win. Their price doesn't represent any great value though. This preview looks at the main metrics in order to identify the best value, which is the away win.

This is no foregone conclusion. Backers of the away win will be aware of the hosts' recent winning rate. Hartberg have been unreliable from a betting point of view. They've lost 2 of their last 3 games at home. Their tactics in the final third haven't helped their recent goal tally. They've scored just 0.5 goals on average over their last 4 matches on their own turf and that isn't likely to be good enough for this test.

LASK have demonstrated what what they are capable of on their day. It's clear that their best results have been underpinned by their confidence in front of goal. They've scored three or more goals in 5 of their last 20 away fixtures. Should they deliver their prolific best they can be a real head-ache here. They have only conceded 2 times during their latest 6 away games. If the away team puts some decent passages together they could be celebrating come full time.

If you disagree with any of the above, the BTTS No is probably the best side bet even though the price doesn't stand out as huge value. As far as the total goals line goes, it's under 1.5 goals for this one considering the odds that are available.
