Austrian Cup (Austria)

Wolfsberger AC demonstrated potent finishing in their previous cup fixture, recording a 5-1 victory on the road. While recent outings against Lask Linz and Austria Lustenau yielded defeats, their defensive structure against sides like Red Bull Salzburg and Grazer AK showed resilience. Parndorf have displayed mixed home form, conceding four goals in a recent home match against Mannsdorf-Großenzersdorf. Backing Wolfsberger AC to win or draw covers the most probable outcomes while accounting for cup unpredictability.

TSV Hartberg enter this tie in strong form with two consecutive victories, having scored five goals across those games. They also posted a 3-1 away win in their previous cup match. In contrast, SK Vorwarts Steyr are winless in their last four matches, failing to score in three of them and conceding eight goals in that sequence. Backing Hartberg with the draw refund provides solid protection in knockout conditions.

Red Bull Salzburg enter this cup fixture with a decisive advantage in overall form and offensive output. They have won five consecutive matches across all competitions, scoring 16 goals while conceding only two. In contrast, SKN ST. Polten have suffered four defeats in their last five outings and have scored just once in that period. Head-to-head history further confirms this disparity, as Salzburg have claimed eight wins and zero defeats across the last ten meetings, including consecutive 3-0 cup victories at St. Polten.

Both teams showed substantial attacking power in their opening cup matches, with Kitzbühel winning 4-1 and Grazer AK winning 4-0. Kitzbühel have also seen high-scoring scorelines across recent home games, scoring four against Lauterach and Röthis while conceding three away to Schwaz. Grazer AK conceded heavily against top opposition in recent weeks, shipping eight at Rapid Vienna and three at Lask Linz, indicating vulnerability at the back that aligns with a high total goal count.

Rapid Vienna come into this cup tie on an unbeaten run of five matches across all competitions, having registered three wins and two draws while demonstrating strong scoring efficiency. In head-to-head fixtures, Rapid Vienna have avoided defeat in four of their five trips to Klagenfurt, recording two wins and two draws. Additionally, historical meetings between the two teams have tended to be tight, averaging 2.3 goals per game with 70 percent of their last ten encounters finishing under 2.5 goals.

Austria Vienna possess a significant advantage in squad pedigree and have won all three previous meetings with Traiskirchen by margins of two or more goals. Traiskirchen have displayed high-scoring form in recent weeks, but their porous backline, which conceded four goals against Leobendorf and three against Scheiblingkirchen, leaves them vulnerable against top-tier attackers. Austria Vienna already demonstrated their cup pedigree with a 5-0 away win in the previous round, making an away win the most probable outcome alongside multiple goals.

WSG Wattens bring strong away form into this tie, winning their last two road fixtures against Austria Vienna 1-0 and Austria Lustenau 4-0, alongside a 6-0 cup victory. Leithaprodersdorf managed a 2-1 win over Admira Wacker but previously lost three of four games while conceding multiple goals in each defeat. The visitors hold a distinct advantage across recent form and defensive stability.

Recent meetings between these two sides have consistently produced goals, highlighted by Austria Salzburg's 4-1 victory over First Vienna earlier in August. Across their four recorded head-to-head encounters, the match goal average stands at 4.25, with 75 percent of those games finishing with three or more goals. Austria Salzburg have scored seven goals across their last two home fixtures, while First Vienna have been involved in high-scoring contests including a 2-2 draw with FC Liefering and a 4-0 win over Sturm Graz II in recent weeks.

Sturm Graz hold a substantial class advantage over Voitsberg and have dominated previous encounters between the sides, including a 3-0 away win in their most recent meeting. Voitsberg have displayed significant defensive frailties in recent weeks, conceding eight goals across their last two matches against FC Liefering and FC BW Linz. That defensive openness against higher-quality opposition makes a Sturm Graz victory the most probable outcome.

Lask Linz possess a significant gulf in overall quality and offensive output, evidenced by winning four of their last five matches while scoring three or more goals in each of those four victories. Deutschlandsberger SC have shown defensive fragility in recent weeks, conceding twice against Tillmitsch and Gleisdorf 09, as well as four times against Weiz. Lask Linz have already recorded a 7-0 away win in cup action this term, making them strong favourites to secure victory in ninety minutes.

FC BW Linz hold a distinct upper hand based on recent head-to-head meetings, having won five consecutive encounters against Wacker Innsbruck, including a 3-0 victory at home on 7 August 2026. Linz have won four of their last five matches in all competitions and scored at least three goals in three of those fixtures.

Wacker Innsbruck have shown vulnerability away from home, failing to score in recent visits to Linz and Floridsdorfer AC. Backing the home double chance provides coverage while reflecting Linz's sustained advantage in this matchup.

Both teams to score is strongly supported by recent results and head-to-head history. SV Lafnitz have seen both teams find the net in all five of their last five matches, scoring ten goals and conceding nine. Austria Lustenau have also conceded in five consecutive matches, with four of those five producing goals at both ends. Additionally, 70 percent of the ten historical meetings between these two clubs have resulted in both teams scoring, averaging 3.7 total goals per encounter.

Ried opened their Austrian Cup campaign with an emphatic 5-1 victory away from home and have managed to score in each of their last five matches across all competitions. Wallern / Marienkirchen conceded three goals in their last outing against Seekirchen and shipped two goals in their opening 3-2 cup win. The visitors possess the quality and offensive consistency to avoid defeat in normal time, while recent scorelines for both sides point toward a fixture featuring multiple goals.

Floridsdorfer AC have established strong form with consecutive 2-0 victories, conceding only once across their last two matches and showing defensive solidity. Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz have struggled for cutting edge on their travels, failing to score in three straight away fixtures. Floridsdorfer AC are also unbeaten in five straight head-to-head games against Bregenz. Backing the hosts to win or draw provides solid coverage across likely outcomes, while the historical low-scoring trend in this matchup points to under 2.5 total goals.

Neither side has maintained a secure backline recently. Kapfenberg have conceded across each of their last five matches while scoring in three of their last four. WSPG Wels have conceded in all five of their last five fixtures but scored in four of them, and both previous meetings between these clubs saw both teams get on the scoresheet.

Both previous head-to-head fixtures produced high goal counts, ending in 3-2 and 3-1 scorelines for an average of 4.5 goals per game. Kapfenberg scored four goals in their first-round cup tie and have conceded in all five of their recent competitive outings. WSPG Wels have also seen three of their last five matches breach the 2.5 goal mark, pointing towards another open cup fixture.

SCR Altach possess superior top-flight pedigree and have the benefit of home pitch advantage in this cup tie. Bischofshofen have suffered defensive lapses across recent games, allowing 17 goals across their last five matches. Altach should have sufficient quality to capitalize on those weaknesses and advance over ninety minutes.

Kapfenberg enter this cup clash boosted by a 2-1 victory over FC BW Linz and possess home advantage, where they previously defeated WSPG Wels 3-2. WSPG Wels have managed only one win in their last five outings across all competitions, giving the hosts a solid platform to at least avoid defeat within standard time.

Over 2.5 Goals — 76% confidence

Bischofshofen have been involved in remarkably high-scoring fixtures, having drawn 3-3 against Wohnbau Dietach in their previous cup tie and conceded seven against Hohenems. SCR Altach demonstrated their ability to score multiple goals at home in their 3-1 victory over WSG Wattens. Given the visitors open defensive record, the match provides strong conditions for exceeding 2.5 total goals.

SCR Altach to win — 74% confidence

SCR Altach possess superior top-flight pedigree and have the benefit of home pitch advantage in this cup tie. Bischofshofen have suffered defensive lapses across recent games, allowing 17 goals across their last five matches. Altach should have sufficient quality to capitalize on those weaknesses and advance over ninety minutes.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (total goals and match winner), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
