SV Ried

vs

Wolfsberger Athletik Club

Preview

SV Ried

• SV Ried have two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches.
• The hosts are 10th with five points from six games, level on points with WAC in 11th.
• Ried have been in mixed form since Mario Despotovic took charge on 1 July 2026, shaping them up into a more aggressive and pressing unit that is built to win the ball back high up the field and quickly counter-attack.
• Their latest result was a chastening 3-2 defeat at TSV Hartberg in the Bundesliga, but there was a 5-1 win at Wallern in the OFB Cup and a 1-1 home draw with Red Bull Salzburg in between those games.

Wolfsberger AC

• Wolfsberger AC have one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five.
• WAC have been in similarly mixed form with one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five across all competitions, although Thomas Silberberger has had more time at the helm after taking over on 7 April 2026.
• They have played in either 3-4-2-1 or 4-3-3 formations this season and seem to have the capability to play through the press or just go direct over it.

Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Niama Sissoko has been Ried's main man with two Bundesliga goals in six games, but WAC's Donis Avdijaj has three assists in the same number of appearances and looks a better bet to make the difference here as WAC's chief creator.
• Giacomo Vrioni has four goals in five Bundesliga games for Wolfsberger AC, so he is their most likely finisher.

Betting Insights

• The draw at 3.55 looks generous here, but the odds of 3.3 on Wolfsberger AC also appeal given the visitors will have their moments and can hurt Ried on the break.
• Over 2.5 goals at 1.67 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.53 also appeal in a match that should see both teams in the game and both get their share of chances.
