First Vienna FC 1894
- Youssouf Soukouna has been a driving force for the hosts this season and has topped the assist chart with two assists in two games, adding real craft between the lines.
- Bernhard Zimmermann has been the man up front for them, also netting two goals in as many games and adding to the goal threat for the home side.
- Maximilian Fillafer has also been on a good scoring streak in the last few games (G3 in 5).
FC Liefering

Betting Insights
- The odds favor First Vienna slightly, 2.2, with Liefering at 2.94 and the draw at 3.58, but I think the value is elsewhere.
- A safer bet would be over 2.5 goals, which is priced up at 1.62, a price that seems a little too big when considering both teams recent goal-scoring exploits (7 for Vienna and 16 for Liefering) and Liefering's front-foot style of play.
Prediction
- This game will be won and lost in the midfield, and with Liefering's high-press versus Vienna's mid/low block, the turnovers will be key.
- The visitors are simply more open than the home side, who are a lot more rigid and compact, and this could make for a spicy game indeed.
