What we said beforehand
Admira Wacker host Voithsberg in the Austria 2. Liga on 11 October. Both clubs sit on nine points after seven games, with Admira a single place above their visitors. Admira are 10th out of 16 and sit one point behind SW Bregenz, while Voithsberg are 11th, just above SKN St. Pölten. Goal difference is narrow – Admira at minus one and Voithsberg at minus two – so a win could lift one side out of the lower half of the table. The three-point gap to safety is still there, so each club will be looking to climb.
Admira Wacker have not been prolific but have managed to pick up points. In their last three matches they drew 1-1 with FC Liefering, lost 2-0 at home to Floridsdorfer AC and then beat SV Lafnitz 2-1. That run gives them three points from nine and a goal tally of three scored and three conceded. The recent win shows they can find the net, while the loss and draw underline a degree of inconsistency.
Voithsberg’s recent form mirrors the home side’s. They began with a 2-2 draw against SC Wiener Neustadt, then fell 3-0 to Celtic, and most recently suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Kilmarnock. The last game produced a single goal for Voithsberg but left them conceding four, taking their recent points total to one from three matches. The heavy loss highlights defensive frailties, yet they still managed to get on the scoresheet.
When the two teams have met before, the games have tended to be low-scoring affairs with both sides finding it hard to dominate. Given the similar points and goal differences, this encounter is likely to be tight, with few clear chances. Admira’s slight edge in the table and a marginally better defensive record suggest they may have the upper hand, but Voithsberg have shown they can score even when beaten heavily. Expect a cautious match, possibly a single goal for each side or a narrow win.
We back Admira Wacker or a draw. The price of 1.50 is longer than we feel the game deserves, which gives us extra safety. Our reading gives Admira an 80 % chance to score and a 50 % chance to score twice, while Voithsberg have a 60 % chance to find the net at all and only a 24 % chance to score more than once. The odds therefore look good for a result that includes a point for the home side. It would go wrong only if Voithsberg tighten up defensively and manage to keep a clean sheet while scoring twice, or if Admira fail to score at all. In those cases the price would not pay off.
