We are inclined to think that SV Ried appear most likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 formation with a starting lineup of Andreas Leitner, Nikki Havenaar, Jonathan Scherzer, Oliver Steurer, Ante Bajic, Jonas Mayer, Yusuf Maart, Fabian Rossdorfer, Philipp Pomer, Antonio Van Wyk and Kingstone Mutandwa.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that SV Ried and FC Blau-Weiss Linz could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.

It could well end in a draw. We therefore see a very even match with a score draw at the conclusion of the game.
