This 2. Liga fixture sees Young Violets Austria Wien host Blau Weiss Linz. CheckLive's numbers favour the home side, giving them a 66% win probability on a strong signal, but it's far from a foregone conclusion with the visitors capable of causing problems.
Young Violets have been inconsistent lately, winning two and losing two of their last five friendlies before a 2-1 defeat to Kapfenberger SV in their last league outing. Blau Weiss Linz arrive in better shape, unbeaten in five friendlies and cup matches with three wins and two draws, most recently a 4-0 victory over Wiener Viktoria.
The head-to-head record heavily favours Blau Weiss Linz, who have won six of the eight previous meetings, though Young Violets won the most recent encounter 2-1 back in March 2023. With the hosts looking to build on that result and the visitors keen to assert their historical dominance, a tight contest could easily swing either way — including a draw.
