Preview
LiveScoresXFirst Vienna arrive at Voitsberg's ground in commanding form, and the numbers tell a clear story. The visitors have won four of their last five matches, scoring 13 goals while conceding just four across that stretch. In their last 10 games across all venues, First Vienna have recorded 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, averaging 2.2 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game. Their away record over 20 games reinforces this: 11 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, with 1.6 goals scored and 0.85 conceded per outing.
Voitsberg, by contrast, are in a difficult patch. They have lost their last two matches — conceding 5 and scoring just 3 across those games — and sit at 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in their last five. Their last 10 games show 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, with 2.1 goals conceded per game. The home record over 20 games is a different story: 14 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, with 3.25 goals scored and 0.95 conceded per game. But that record spans 12 months, and the older games dilute what the current form is telling us.
The head-to-head between these two sides is entirely historical. All three recorded meetings — a 0–2 at Voitsberg in April 2025, a 1–0 at First Vienna in October 2024, and a 1–1 in July 2023 — took place more than 17 months before this fixture. First Vienna won two of those three, but with no meetings within the last 12 months, the head-to-head offers no current-form insight. The case must be built on what both teams are doing now.
The counter-argument for Voitsberg is their home record. Fourteen wins in 20 home games is a strong foundation, and they have failed to score in only 2 of those 20. However, the last five games show a team that has lost three of five, conceded 11 goals and managed just 7. The 2–1 win over Austria Salzburg three weeks ago was the only win in that stretch, and the 1–4 defeat to Sturm Graz at home five weeks ago underlined the defensive vulnerability.
First Vienna's defence has been the standout feature of their recent run. They have kept clean sheets in 2 of their last 5 and conceded just 4 goals across that stretch. In their last 10, they have kept 5 clean sheets. Voitsberg, meanwhile, have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 5 games.
Key Points:
- First Vienna have won 4 of their last 5, scoring 13 and conceding 4
- Voitsberg have lost their last 2 and sit at 1W 1D 3L in 5
- First Vienna's away record: 11W 3D 6L in 20 games
- Voitsberg's home record (14W 2D 4L) spans 12 months and is diluted by older results
- Head-to-head is entirely historical; all 3 meetings are 17+ months old
With First Vienna in such strong recent form and Voitsberg struggling on both ends of the pitch, the away side have the edge. I rate First Vienna's chance of winning at around 53%, which sits comfortably above the market's 46.51% implied probability. The pick is the away win at 2.15.
