After making it four winners on the bounce in Catalonia on Saturday, Sunday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me delve into the Austrian Bundesliga, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Sturm Graz vs LASK
🇦🇹 Bundesliga
⏰ Sunday 16 March, 16:00
Sturm Graz will look to maintain their position at the top of the Austrian Bundesliga table as they welcome sixth-placed LASK to the Merkur-Arena on Sunday afternoon in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Jurgen Samuel’s hosts are the leading scorers in the Austrian Bundesliga, slamming in 47 goals across their opening 21 matches, with an impressive 30 (64%) of them coming in front of their supporters.
Die Schwoazn have failed to score in just two of their past 20 Austrian Bundesliga fixtures – notching on multiple occasions in 15 (75%) of them – and will be confident of breaching a LASK defence that’s kept just three clean sheets in the league this season, with just one of those coming on their travels.
Markus Schopp’s visitors have scored 30 goals across their opening 21 Austrian Bundesliga fixtures this term, with 13 (43%) of them coming on their travels.
Die Laskler have found the back of the net in 17 (81%) of their league outings – notching 2+ goals in eight of their past 15 – and will look to trouble a Sturm Graz defence that’s kept just three clean sheets across their past 18 Austrian Bundesliga fixtures.
Bet of the Day
Sturm Graz’s opening 21 Bundesliga contests this season have averaged a joint league-high 3.48 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in a league-best 16 (76%) of them, including in eight of their last nine at home.
LASK’s opening 21 Bundesliga fixtures this term have averaged 2.81 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals paying out in 15 (71%) of them, including in seven of their last nine.
Given both sides' records at both ends of the pitch, I’m expecting a high-scoring clash in Graz on Sunday.
- Over 2.5 Goals
