AUSTRIAN BUNDESLIGA
SV Ried v Kapfenberg
While we wait for the more exciting leagues to start we’ll continue to bet on the Austrian Bundesliga. This Friday’s fixture involves Sv Ried and newly-promoted Kapfenberg.
Ried opened the season with a 3-0 win over bottom of the table Altach who already look like they will be this years whipping boys before succumbing 2-1 away at Mattersburg. Their opponents Kapfenberg lost their first game to Linz (1-0) before a last minute own goal salvaged a point for them at home against Austria Vienna (2-2).
Although neither team is likely to get into Europe, Ried at least have a chance of staying up while Kapfenberg will have to battle it out with the likes of Altach to try and stay afloat in the top flight. Their promotion last season was built on a strong home record while away from home they won only 7 out of 17 games. The fact that this season they have only gained a single point in two home games shows that there is a big difference between the top 2 divisions in Austria and that Kapfenberg will more than likely struggle.
Ried’s opening game of the season showed that they’re capable of turning it on at home (3-0 versus Altach) and with favourable odds of 2.10 available for a home win, you just have to back SV Ried to get their second win of the season.
Another decent bet is to wager on their being more than 2.5 goals in this match. This has happened in 3 of the 4 games that these teams have played in this season. Odds of 1.90 can be found for this wager. If you double the two bets you’ll get tasty odds of 4.00, good luck and happy betdreaming.
