LASK Linz vs Tirol Prediction: Home team will not lose

The upcoming Austria Bundesliga clash between LASK Linz and Tirol is set to take place at the Raiffeisen Arena in what promises to be a compelling encounter in the 15th round. Let's delve into the details of the match and explore potential betting opportunities.

LASK Linz will be eager to avoid replicating their recent performance following a 2-0 loss in the Bundesliga against BW Linz. In that encounter, LASK Linz dominated possession with a 71% share and unleashed 22 shots at goal, with 4 finding the mark. On the other hand, BW Linz managed 14 goal attempts, landing 6 on target against LASK Linz. Under the guidance of Thomas Sageder, LASK Linz showcased offensive prowess by scoring 10 goals in their past six matches. However, they conceded 8 goals in return during these fixtures. Looking ahead to the upcoming game, LASK Linz's form guide indicates resilience, as they haven't suffered a defeat in their last 2 league matches against Tirol. Additionally, the home team boasts an impressive unbeaten streak of 8 matches in the league when playing at their home ground.

Tirol will enter this encounter buoyed by a 5-1 Bundesliga victory over Altach in their recent fixture. During that match, Tirol held 49% possession and registered 13 shots on goal, with 7 finding the target. Julius Ertlthaler (33'), Nik Prelec (45'), Stefan Škrbo (61'), and Sandi Ogrinec (80') contributed to Tirol's goal tally. Altach, on the other hand, managed 11 shots on goal, with 4 on target, resulting in Lukas Gugganig's own goal (39') and Gustavo Santos' goal (64'). The statistics reveal that Tirol has faced challenges in defense, conceding in all of their last 6 games and allowing opponents to score a total of 10 goals. Notably, Tirol has struggled in away games, failing to secure a win in their past 3 league outings on the road.

Despite experiencing a setback in their recent league match against BW Linz, LASK Linz has displayed exceptional overall performance both in the league and the Europa League. While I anticipate the away team to be formidable, given their consecutive wins, the determined LASK Linz playing on their home turf is likely to dictate the course of the game in their favor.
