On Saturday, 24 May 2025, Austria Wien welcome Blau-Weiß Linz to the Generali Arena in a round 10 clash of the Austrian Bundesliga. Kick-off is set for 16:00 BST, which corresponds to 17:00 CEST across Italy, Germany, France and Spain.
This late-season meeting could prove pivotal as both sides chase European qualification spots. With just a few fixtures remaining, every point matters and fans at the Generali Arena will be expecting an entertaining Saturday afternoon of high-tempo football.
How are both teams coming into this?
Austria Wien currently sit in 2nd place with 36 points from 31 matches, demonstrating remarkable consistency throughout the campaign. Their home form has been impressive, as they have dropped very few points at the Generali Arena and shown a penchant for breaking down stubborn defences.
Meanwhile, Blau-Weiß Linz occupy 6th place, 16 points adrift of their hosts. Linz have produced flashes of quality but struggled to string together back-to-back results. Their road record this season has been patchy, and they’ll need to improve significantly to leave Vienna with any points.
Our forecast
Given Austria Wien’s home dominance and Linz’s inconsistent away displays, we’re backing a comfortable home victory. The hosts should control possession and create numerous chances, putting pressure on a defence that has conceded frequently on the road.
Goals look likely at both ends, but with Austria Wien’s firepower, a winning margin of two goals seems plausible. A final scoreline such as 3-1 or 2-0 in favour of the home side aligns with current form and attacking trends in the Bundesliga.
