💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Dornbirn have it within them to find the back of the net against this FC Blau-Weiss Linz outfit, although it is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for FC Blau-Weiss Linz after the 90. Definitely a tough call.
