Hi!
After thinking about all three games of today, my only bet will be Ried to win vs Kärnten.
I cannot see a single argument in favour of the visitors, apart from common things like "Cup games are unpredictable".
Ried will further be without their top striker Akagündüz, but because of this long term line up change another player can now play his usual role in attack, Sidibe. And Sidibe was thankful for this return to his favourite place on the pitch, netting both in Rieds 2-1 home win vs Sturm on Saturday.
Another important fact is that Rieds playmaker Herwig Drechsel is in again since last weekend.
Furthermore, Ried is known as a good Cup fighting team and everyone is determined to take this chance for a European spot next year.
At home, Ried is 3rd in the league table, 8-3-3 25:10 and 27 points.
Kärnten is imo the worst team in the league now. Their performance against Bregenz last Saturday was horrible, and their undeserved equalizer came in the 93rd minute, just minutes after Bregenz (one of the worst away sides here) hit the post, failing to make it 1-3 at that time.
Away, Kärnten is last in the league, 2-2-9 10:27 and 8 points.
Last 9 games (3rd quarter):
5 Ried 4-1-4 12:13
10 Kärnten 1-3-5 6:17

My estimation is 60-22-18 and I recommend bets from 1.7.
1.75 (Expekt, Playit, BAW, ...) 4/10.
Love and money, Alp
