FC Blau-Weiss Linz (home)
- FC Blau-Weiss Linz (BWL) have not won any of their last five matches in all competitions, drawing two and losing three, and have failed to win their last two home games against Wolfsberger Athletik Club (WAC).
- Their all-or-nothing approach to the game leaves them vulnerable to counters and their home record this season of only two wins, one draw, and six defeats, while conceding an average of 1.56 goals per game, tells its own story.
Wolfsberger AC (away)
- WAC have been more solid on the road in the Bundesliga, winning three, drawing two and losing only three of eight away fixtures in the top division, averaging 1.62 goals per away game.
- Ismail Atalan has had the coaching role since November 2025 and his flexible system, which can play multiple formations and styles, has helped keep WAC in most games, winning two, drawing one and losing two of the last five.
Head-to-Head
- Wolfsberger AC have won 4 of the last 5 Bundesliga head-to-head games with FC Blau-Weiss Linz, including a 3-0 home victory in the most recent fixture five months ago.
- These two teams have contrasting styles of play that this head-to-head will test the limits of, and that’s probably why both coaches will see this as a must-win fixture.
- However, the hosts have drawn their last two at home and may be able to put enough pressure on the opposition to keep the scoreline close.
Key Players
Shon Weissman remains the biggest threat for BWL with five goals in 13 Bundesliga games, but Dejan Zukic , who has bagged six in 18 Bundesliga appearances, is the key man for WAC, who always look dangerous in the final third.
Betting Insights
The Over 2.5 goals market is at 2.0 , an even-money bet, for a reason and that’s because both teams tend to concede goals and both will play attacking soccer.
Prediction
WAC, who are favored at 2.45 to win the match against 2.88 for the hosts, have the better record, higher position in the table and a better overall record against Blau-Weiss Linz, so should have enough to win this contest.
