Football Bet of the Day: Fireworks in Austrian basement battle

SCR Altach v Hartberg
Saturday 16:00

Le Havre v Lorient was everything we hoped for in France last night. The visitors took 1-0 and 2-1 leads, but were pegged back twice before finally winning 3-2.

We're chasing a similar scoreline in Austria today. SCR Altach's last five Austrian Bundesliga home matches have all delivered Over 2.5 Goals and we fancy they can make it six in a row this afternoon.

The hosts are 10th in the 12-team league, but have scored in 12/15 at Stadion Schnabelholz this term. Their problem lies at the other end of the field, where they have conceded at least twice in 10/15. Today, they welcome a Hartberg side that sits one place and one point above them in the table, but has an even worse backline.

In fact, Markus Schopp's visitors have the Bundesliga's very worst defence: they've conceded 62 times in 30 matches, including 40 goals against in 15 away games. Earlier this term, a previous visit to Altach brought a 1-6 reverse. Since the start of the season, they've conceded at least twice in 13/15 of those road fixtures. Up front, they've shown a higher degree of confidence, finding the back of the net at least once in 11/15. No fewer than 13/15 have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and we're backing another high scorer for today's encounter.
