WSG Hertha Wels
- WSG Hertha Wels sit in 13th position with just 14 points from 17 matches, have a negative goal difference and are in danger of relegation.
- Christian Heinle has made an immediate impact with the set up of his team and the tactics they favour.
- Hertha will be compact and allow the opponents to have the ball in areas where they are less dangerous, before hitting on the counter-attack when their wide players get forward.
- WSG have plenty of attackers that can hurt teams, but Heinle knows that they need to be solid in defense and at set-piece time to have any chance of surviving this season, which has been much tougher than expected for the newly promoted club.
Admira Wacker Modling
- Admira Wacker are the 2. Liga 2025-2026’s surprise package, sitting comfortably in the top tier with 31 points from 16 matches.
- Thomas Silberberger’s side are clear favorites at 1.75 and that looks the right bet here against Wels, who are 4.4 shots for the win.
- Admira have been excellent so far and are very much in the promotion race because of the way Silberberger plays a patient, possession-based game and his side’s ability to maintain possession and structure when out of it.
- Admira Wacker were the 2. Liga’s most explosive attacking team in the autumn, registering a 4-0 home win over Liefering and a 6-1 away win against Kapfenberg.
Head-to-Head
Admira Wacker have won both competitive matches against Hertha Wels, including a 1-0 league win over them earlier this season.
WSG Hertha Wels
Andrija Bosnjak , who was their leading scorer during the promotion campaign, will be the focal point for any Hertha attacks and remains their biggest hope for a goal on Friday.
Admira Wacker Modling
Alexander Schmidt is the Admira goal machine and their top scorer this season, while Turgay Gemicibasi, Josef Weberbauer and Deni Alar will be the main creators again.
Betting Insights
- Both Teams To Score, which is priced at 1.82 here, looks good because Admira play in a way that should see them dominate possession and create more chances.
- Thomas Silberberger’s side are clear favorites at 1.75 and that looks the right bet here against Wels, who are 4.4 shots for the win.
- Hertha have been defensively fragile and Admira have been scoring goals, but Wacker have also been defensively disciplined and rarely give teams anything for free, so the score probably won’t get out of hand and the visitors can win on the road.
Prediction
Hertha have been defensively fragile and Admira have been scoring goals, but Wacker have also been defensively disciplined and rarely give teams anything for free, so the score probably won’t get out of hand and the visitors can win on the road.
