Austria Salzburg
- Austria Salzburg are unbeaten in their last 5 competitive matches, winning 3 and tying 2, and they come into the game on the back of a 5-1 cup win away to SV Wals-Grünau after a 2-2 draw away to SV Ried in a friendly the previous week.
- They have plenty of steel at the back and plenty of punch going forward, they just lack a focal point right now with Maximilian Fillafer their leading goal-scorer in the last 5 matches with 3 goals out of the 6 that they've netted.
First Vienna
- First Vienna have won 5, tied 3 and lost 2 of their last 10 fixtures.
- First Vienna have won their last 2 games back-to-back, beating SK Sturm Graz II 4-0 at home in the 2. Liga and Mattersburger SV 2020 2-1 away in the cup, and they arrive at the stadium with the sharper edge.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting in the 2. Liga, played at Austria Salzburg, finished 0-0 , so this has all the potential to be a cagey game.
Key Players
Bernhard Zimmermann is the 2. Liga 2026-2027's leading goal scorer for First Vienna with 1 goal in 1 fixture .
Betting Insights
- Austria Salzburg are listed at 2.45 for the win and that's just a bit too short, while Vienna are available at 2.55 which is tempting, but the tie at 3.6 still makes this a live one.
- Both teams to score at 1.74 and over 2.5 goals at 1.92 look a good way to get involved as there will be chances at both ends.
- Austria Salzburg haven't lost in 4 at home in all competitions, winning 1 and tieing 3, conceding an average of 1.00 goals per game.
- First Vienna have won 2, tie 2 and lost 2 of their 6 away games in all competitions, scoring and conceding an average of 1.00 per game on the road.
Prediction
We think First Vienna can just nick it here given the slightly superior form and back-to-back wins, but this will be close.
