LASK – Ried Tip Bundesliga Austria, Matchday 3 on Friday, 14.08.26 at 19:30 CET
If you look around the markets, the bookmakers offer you odds of 5.50 on average if last year’s winner successfully defends his Bundesliga title. But is the hype around the Linz-based company justified?
At first glance, yes! In any case, there is no reason on the 3rd matchday to deviate even a hand’s breadth from my intended LASK Ried tip.
The Athletik-Sport-Klub has developed enormously under Dietmar Kühbauer! Just look at their recent 2-0 win over Austria Wien. After all, the capitals can say they are lucky that they didn’t lose even more a few days ago in the Generali Arena!
LASK vs. Ried AI predictions:
The model that we feed with data here in the editorial office has no preferences. However, the LASK Ried AI forecast generated to me on request could almost be assumed to come from a fan of the Linz team!
The computer-generated suggestion of victory Linz with HC -2 at odds of about 4.50 is almost too daring for me, by the way, as it indicates that the reigning champion will mercilessly sweep over the SVR.
That has never happened in recent years, but the dominant way in which Linz ASK has started the 2026/27 season gives me pause for thought. In the victory over Austria Wien, their own xG value was 3.03 higher. Therefore, the Kühbauer eleven can be trusted to do anything at the moment!
Predicted chance of winning:

Our AI also recommends making the bet: Both teams score at odds of currently 1.73. And indeed, in the past that would have been a very safe LASK Ried tip in this encounter.
After all, each of the last seven duels fulfilled this condition. However, in this case I would probably rather go for the higher odds “counter bet”, since the Linz defense has not yet conceded a goal in three games of the season and clears everything mercilessly!
This is what you have to consider when betting on LASK vs. Ried
- Striking draw tendency in the derby: I see an extremely high density of points in this traditional duel; four of the last five Bundesliga meetings between Ried and LASK have ended 1-1.
- Late drama in the latest BL duel: In the last meeting, the Athletics showed nerves of steel at the very last second; Moses Usor saved LASK from a 1-1 draw with a penalty kick in the 103rd minute.
- Linz’s lack of victory against SVR: For the Linzers, the showdown with SVR at league level is not a success story; LASK has not celebrated a win against Ried in the Bundesliga since December 2021.
- Balanced historical record: The direct comparison of the two traditional clubs underlines the closeness of the rivalry; in 67 competitive matches so far, Ried has celebrated 25 wins, LASK 21 wins with 21 draws.
