🗞️ Team News: Wolfsberger AC

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Wolfsberger AC manager Dietmar Kühbauer to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group. Thomas Sabitzer (Adductor injury) won’t play.

It seems likely that Wolfsberger AC will possibly kick off with a 3-4-1-2 formation in the match, utilising Nikolas Polster, Dominik Baumgartner, Chibuike Nwaiwu, Nicolas Wimmer, Adis Jasic, Simon Piesinger, Emmanuel Agyemang, Ervin Omic, Dejan Zukic, Markus Pink and Thierno Ballo.

📰 Team News: Austria Vienna

Austria Vienna manager Stephan Helm has to choose a team with limited availability. Florian Wustinger (Cruciate ligament tear), Ziad El Sheiwi (Cruciate ligament tear) and Abdoulaye Kanté (Cruciate ligament tear) miss out here.

We reckon that Die Veilchen appear most likely to utilise a 5-3-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Samuel Radlinger, Reinhold Ranftl, Philipp Wiesinger, Alexander Dragovic, Johannes Handl, Matteo Perez-Vinlöf, Abubakr Barry, Dominik Fitz, Andreas Gruber, Manfred Fischer and Maurice Malone.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment is that Austria Vienna and Wolfsberger AC may well end up cancelling each other out here.

It could well end in a draw. We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a 1-1 draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
