A. Lustenau - Wacker Innsbruck Prediction, Picks and Tips
Discussions about match dates have been a constant companion in the German football upper house in recent years. The Monday games were categorically rejected due to the needs of the fans. But imagine, a professional-level game would be kicked off on Sunday morning at 09:30 clock. There is not any? Not in Germany - but in Austria, the clocks tick a little differently. In the second division, the West Derby between Austria Lustenau and Wacker Innsbruck takes place on early Sunday! The unusual game date is not chosen because of security concerns of the authorities, but in the second Austrian league actually a regular game date. Each game day there is a game that is kicked off at this time. The West Derby is certainly one of the most interesting duels. Due to the geographical proximity, it is also possible for guests from Innsbruck to travel to Vorarlberg without spending the night. The home side are considered one of the favorites for promotion and urgently need three points to stay on the heels of the competition from Klagenfurt and Ried. For the bookmaker Austria Lustenau against Wacker Innsbruck is according to current odds the clear favorite. But the Innsbruck could already surprise during the week in the ÖFB Cup against Europa League starter Wolfsberg and sensational reach the quarter-finals.
Austria Lustenau is also in the quarter-finals of the Austrian Cup competition. However, the Green-Whites needed no surprise in order to fix the entry into the round of the last eight, but were the favorites role against Underdog Union Gurten justice. The Mählich-Elf prevailed away with 3: 2. Once again it became apparent that the games of the Green-Whites are a guarantee for peat festivals. In the previous twelve league games, there were no fewer than 55 (!) Goals to see. In the offensive, Roman Mählich - who has been looking after the Vorarlberg only since mid-September - to renounce new entrant Patrick Eler. The Slovenian, certainly one of the best attackers in the second division, has been missing for several weeks. His loss can be easily compensated, however, because top scorer Ronivaldo (13 goals), Matthias Morys and Thomas Mayer Lustenauer continue to have a strong offensive trio. While the offensive definitely has Bundesliga potential, the defensive is extremely error prone. Again and again, individual mistakes ensure conceding goals. There have been at least two goals conceded in each of the last five competitive matches! Most recently, in the league a 0-2 draw gap against SV Kapfenberg could still be turned into a victory. With 20 points from twelve games, the Vorarlberg have eight points behind Austria Klagenfurt. The big goal "promotion" - after 20 years in league 2 - has already moved back into a certain distance. At the moment you have to win to hope for the competition.
"German Bundesliga leader-conqueror-conqueror" or something similar Wacker Innsbruck could call this week. The Bundesliga relegated caused the biggest sensation in the Cup eighth finals. The Wolfsberger sparred some important players and were immediately presented the bill for this decision. An early goal by Markus Wallner in the fifth minute provided for the first overwintering in the ÖFB Cup in seven years. After the Grumser-Elf has lost the last three league home games each, this victory was not to be expected. The home strength, which was still responsible for many points at the beginning of the season, was blown away. A solid defensive performance finally paved the way for victory. A success that is not only of great sporting importance, but also lets those responsible in Innsbruck breathe a little more financially. Even before the Cup victory against Wolfsberg, the Tyroleans showed again a strong rising form. Despite the unfortunate 2: 3 defeat against SV Ried (next to Austria Lustenau the top candidate for promotion), the Grumser-Elf presented from the best side. A gala performance in the Vorarlberger Ländle will also be necessary to hijack points. If the Tyroleans score for the third time in the sixth away game of the season, lures between Austria Lustenau and Wacker Innsbruck for this forecast more than the double use. After three away defeats in series at the beginning of the season (all without own hit), there was a last draw against Liefering and a victory in the Young Violets. However, the Lustenauer Austria is a team with significantly more level than these two competitors.
