SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz v FC Blau-Weiss Linz : Bundesliga match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 22nd Feb, 13:30 BST, Merkur Arena, Graz

Fabio Ingolitsch's SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz side are on home soil in the Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon, as Mitja Mörec's FC Blau-Weiss Linz visit the Merkur Arena. We have predictions, tips, and odds from leading bookmakers and head-to-head stats across the biggest markets, all with the aim of helping you find a winning bet on this Bundesliga clash.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's unlikely that this match will deliver 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Sturm Graz and Blau-Weiss Linz have seldom treated their fans to a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in the Bundesliga individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a convincing favourite draw or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.30.
