WSG Hertha Wels (home)
- Hertha Wels are unbeaten in their last two, after a 1-0 home win over SW Bregenz and a 2-2 draw at FK Austria Wien II, and are currently sitting 14th in the 2. Liga 2026/2027 with eight points from nine matches, while Voitsberg are two places above them on nine points from the same number of games.
- Hertha Wels have been more solid than the results suggest, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five, and still look to be a work in progress with the recent squad turnover and changes in staff.
- WSG Hertha Wels have ridden through a coaching transition with Markus Lackner in charge since 22 September 2026, bringing a new energy to the club which has seen some interesting tactical flexibility so far.
Voitsberg (away)
- Voitsberg have been steady on the road (W1, D1, L2), averaging 1.75 goals per game.
- Voitsberg have conceded an average of 2.50 goals per match on the road in 2. Liga 2026/2027.
- The visitors are in poor form - they have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five, losing their last three in a row - but they have been a more solid unit since Philipp Zulechner took over on 20 July 2026.
- Voitsberg are a compact team, usually lining up in a pragmatic 4-4-2 system and looking to be solid at the back and manage the game through their hard running.
- Voitsberg's attack has looked sharper when Schubert gets the service and he is their danger man, scoring five goals in seven league games.
Head-to-Head
Voitsberg have taken the points in the last two meetings of the teams and, while Hertha Wels have not won their most recent home game against these opponents, the head-to-head leads us to the visitors.
Key Players
- Malinowski is the one player that Hertha have that can make things happen with the ball, but their supporting cast has been thin up front and Malinowski has scored half of his club's last six goals, which is carrying too much of the load.
- That could open up opportunities for Voitsberg to nick a result, particularly if their leading scorer Fabian Schubert gets on the ball.
Betting Insights
- Voitsberg come into this match as slight favorites at 2.03 compared to 3.12 for WSG Hertha Wels and 3.75 for the draw.
- Over 2.5 goals is favored at 1.44, as is Both Teams to Score: Yes at the same price, which appeals because we think Voitsberg will get chances and must score to have a chance of winning.
Prediction
Our view is that the slightly more settled structure of the away side should edge this game, with Schubert 's form the main reason they can nick a win.
