First Vienna
- First Vienna are 5th in the 2. Liga 2026/2027 with 7 points from 4 games, 1 place and 1 point above Amstetten.
- Patrick Enengl has made First Vienna into a direct and vertical side in which a compact midfield block has the capacity to spring forward at pace on the counter.
- Vienna's 4-1 away loss to SV Austria Salzburg, 2-2 home draw with FC Liefering and 1-0 away win at VfB Admira Wacker Modling are a steady, if unspectacular trio of results that have put them in the upper reaches of the table.
SKU Amstetten
- SKU Amstetten have drawn their last 2 matches.
- However, SKU Amstetten, under the guidance of Andreas Gahleitner since 1 July 2026, have more of an organised and pragmatic feel.
- Amstetten's 2-1 home win over VfB Admira Wacker Modling was followed by a 2-2 away draw with Floridsdorfer AC and a 1-1 home draw with WSG Hertha Wels.
Head-to-Head
The last head-to-head, in the 2. Liga 2025/2026, finished 0-0 at the home of SKU Amstetten , a score that would not be a surprise in this fixture either.
Key Players
- Bernhard Zimmermann has been Vienna's main outlet and threat, netting 3 of his side's goals in the league this term.
- Amstetten's most dangerous player is Armin Haider, who has notched 1 goal and 2 assists in 4 matches in the 2. Liga 2026/2027.
Betting Insights
- First Vienna are the slight home favorites at 2.49, although SKU Amstetten aren't far behind at 2.55 and the tie is the most appealing option at 3.5.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.71 looks a much sharper bet than under at 2.08, although Both Teams To Score is also more likely to be a 'yes' than 'no' at 1.57.
Prediction
- This Friday's early kick off at Stadion Hohe Warte is a pivotal early-season fixture for both sides.
- This will be a contest between a side with the ball and a side without it and the midfield battles could determine the game's tempo and rhythm.
- There's a slight edge to the hosts to win this match, but we are going with the away team to at least get a tie as there is better odds on the double chance than on the home team alone.
- Amstetten are better at avoiding defeat than winning matches this season, but Vienna's aggressive style and high tempo should give the visitors plenty to work against.
