Admira Wacker (home)
- Admira Wacker’s style is based on ball possession, structured play, and patient pressing.
- But it’s a young team, with Christopher Olsa always looking to cause a stir when coming off the bench, and Luki Malicsek dictating tempo and balance in midfield.
- With the ball, they will attack, but without the ball, they will press in a disciplined manner, not with manic energy.
- Deni Alar is the experienced striker up front, and is more than capable of getting a goal and being the leader the team needs.
- Admira Wacker are the better side, with 31 points from 16 games.
- Admira have been in the promotion race all autumn and they finished strong, beating Kapfenberg 6-1 in their final game before the winter break, winning four of their previous five league matches.
Austria Wien II (away)
- Maxi Uhlig’s team will line up with an energetic goalkeeper, Stefan Blazevic, and a different line-up of talented young players every game.
- Mörth, Sawicki, Deshishku, and Stöger are just some of the talented young international players that Austria Wien II have, which allows Uhlig to set up in systems where they can play at the highest tempo and press manically to force turnovers.
- Uhlig’s side have been hard to beat in the 2. Liga, but they’ve tended to draw rather than win, with several draws and narrow wins in their last five league outings.
Head-to-Head
Austria Wien II have drawn two and lost one of the last three meetings between these sides.

Betting Insights
- Admira Wacker are the odds-on favorites for Tuesday’s game, at 1.48, while Austria Wien II are the long shots at 6.2, and the draw is priced at 4.0.
- The 1.8 odds on over 2.5 goals also catch our eye, as the hosts have been in good attacking form and the rain on matchday should make for a game with plenty of direct play on a slippery surface.
Prediction
It’s a tough game to predict, but Admira ’s home field advantage, better league position and form gives us the confidence to back them for a narrow win .
