Kapfenberg
- Kapfenberg are 13th in the 2. Liga 2025/2026 table with 22 points from 23 games and Bregenz are just below them on 15 points from 23 matches ahead of Friday’s meeting in the Austrian second division.
- Kapfenberg has lost their last two and won just once in five league games.
- Vladimir Petrovic has adopted a proactive style since taking over as Kapfenberg boss in September 2025, implementing an aggressive pressing system with his team looking to dominate games with their quick, vertical play.
Bregenz
- Bregenz has the same record in their last five 2. Liga 2025-2026 matches (W1, D1, L3).
- Andreas Heraf took over as Bregenz boss in October 2025 and has set up his side to be compact, deep and disciplined.
- The visitors are not a possession-based side and look to attack on the counter, where their pace and power can be telling.
- Their away win at SKU Amstetten, in which they produced a 3-2 comeback win, proves they can threaten the best teams away from home.
- Johannes Tartarotti is the danger man for Bregenz with 11 league goals this term, including three of their last six goals, so he will be looking to get on the ball and make runs in behind.
