Admira
- Admira have won their last two games and will arrive at the Datenpol Arena on Saturday feeling confident of picking up where they left off.

- Harald Suchard's men have been operating at a sharp tempo and their press in transition is more about triggering a change in possession than sitting deep and denying space as Wacker will most likely do.
Wacker Innsbruck
- That's just one point more than 7th placed Wacker Innsbruck, who have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches after suffering a 0-1 defeat at home to Austria Salzburg last time out.
- Wackerianer have been a tough nut to crack since Sebastian Siller took the reins on 15 April 2023.

- Luis Gstrein has been a hot hand for Wacker with four of his side's eight goals coming in the past five games.
- Admira's wide, wing-back-based style of play should test the narrow 4-2-3-1, but the compact block of Wacker should give Admira's half spaces some trouble.
