Austria Lustenau can edge it
Lustenau's pragmatic, transition-heavy approach is a different kettle of fish to Ried's gameplan of chaos, pressing duels and quick counters. Whoever wins the midfield battles on Sunday will likely have the best chance of winning, and it's a tough game to call.
Austria Lustenau's home steel suggests they have the better chance, and the 2.6 price on the hosts does seem like some value given that the market is leaning towards a low-scoring game here. Under 2.5 goals is 1.8 and Both Teams To Score - No is 1.93, so the lean is to a narrow home win, but the draw still has some weight after the last two H2Hs, which is why SC Austria Lustenau vs SV Ried prediction remains difficult to separate.
Evan Eghosa Aisowieren has scored two of Ried's five goals in their last five and is their most dangerous player, so he could be the key to the visitors getting something from this.
