Head-to-Head
SV Austria Salzburg (5th, 6pts from 3 games) and SV Kapfenberg (16th, 0pts from 3 games) head to head record: Austria Salzburg's edge in recent meetings is slim but real (1 win each, last 2 matches).
Home - SV Austria Salzburg
- Die Violetten have been in mixed-to-strong form with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 5 matches, while Die Falken have hit a dip with just 1 win and 4 defeats in their most recent 5.
- SV Austria Salzburg's 0-2 away win at WSG Hertha Wels was followed by a 4-1 home thumping of First Vienna FC 1894 and a 3-1 away loss to FK Austria Wien II.
Away - SV Kapfenberg
- Kapfenberg, on the other hand, are more pragmatic in their approach, using a compact block to stifle attacking movement, looking to counter with speed after winning the ball back.
- Vladimir Petrovic has only been in his role since September 2025, but has seemingly pushed this group towards a compact, work-rate-heavy approach.
- Die Falken have been in poor form overall and have yet to secure a win on the road in the 2. Liga 2026/2027, while Austria Salzburg are unbeaten in 1 home fixture.
Key Players
- Christian Gebauer is the danger man for Austria Salzburg, his 2 goals from 2 matches in the 2. Liga 2026/2027 see him leading the team's scoring.
- Jose-Andrei Rostas has 1 goal in 2 matches and is the sharpest spark in the Kapfenberg team, having scored 2 of Die Falken's 5 goals in their last 5 games.
