Bundesliga Austria, Friday, 26.04.2024
What a shock: Austria Vienna and Altach have just a few days to recover from the stress and disappointment of their last Bundesliga outings. The direct duel continues on Friday!
If FAK perform as they usually do at the Generali Arena, then this Austria Wien Altach tip using a verified sports betting app could prove useful for you
A clumsy use of the hand has made the race for the international places within the relegation group exciting once again!
WSG didn’t need to be asked twice when it came to welding the resulting penalty into Austria’s net to make the final score 1:0.
As a result, FAK’s lead over the chasing pack melted to four points and even the Tyroleans may still have a chance of making it into international play.
All except Austria Lustenau, in fact, as relegation seems to have been inevitable for some time
For Austria, by the way, it was the first defeat within the relegation group, which could complicate things from now on.
Wolfsberg have now moved within striking distance, as the Carinthians are now just three points away from FAK thanks to their 2:1 win over Lustenau.
The “Veilchen” also have to face WAC on May 11 and to avoid a final match for sixth place by then, a win over Altach would certainly be just what they need.
Especially as the SCRA still have a theoretical chance of reaching international play-offs, but realistically can already be very happy to have almost secured their place in the league.
For the Vorarlberg side, there is certainly much less at stake on Friday than for the hosts
Beating Austria in their own stadium is a completely different matter to beating them away from the Generali Arena.
After the match against Tirol, FAK coach Michael Wimmer still showed a lack of understanding for the VAR’s decision to uphold the handball penalty against his team, but he can be satisfied with his boys as far as their performances in matches in the capital are concerned.
Because long before the league was split into a championship and qualifying group, Austria had not lost at home – in fact, not since August 2023!
The SCRA, meanwhile, always become a nuisance for Austria when trips to Vorarlberg are on the agenda, as was last the case in mid-March (1:1).
However, they have won almost every one of their last six Bundesliga home games against this opponent at the Generali Arena (5 wins, 1 draw).
Furthermore, Altach are not having a good end to the season. Even after the 2-1 defeat to BW Linz last Tuesday, relegation is only all but certain because Austria Lustenau are simply not competitive enough in 2023/24
Both sides have a sudden loss to lament, which could loosen up their respective defenses.
Could the respective red and yellow suspensions of Hakim Guenouche for Austria and Reiner for Altach perhaps pave the way for a successful two-team meeting bet?
In any case, both players have more than 20 Bundesliga appearances under their belts this year and have performed well for the most part, so there could indeed be one or two blunders in the respective back line on Friday
Now we come to the exciting part of my Austria Wien Altach prediction: the odds.
These know how to excite me like only the Merkur Bets bonus from the provider of the same name.
Given the strong tendency of the Violets to win home games – especially those against Altach – the tip 1 odds traded on the markets are like a real “betting invitation.”
Good bookmakers such as Merkur Bets offer home win odds of around 1.90, which means that you can roughly double your stake if you are successful, especially if you are a customer of a betting provider without tax.
I would rather leave out any additional conditions or hedging bets such as DC-1X at this point, even if the two-teams-meet option already mentioned is definitely an addition that you could give some thought to.
Conclusion: It’s really hard to put anything other than “A” or “X” here, given the consistently strong performances of the Capitals in their own stadium since August 2023.
However, in view of the juicy home win odds, I would take courage and take up this offer directly. Especially as FAK absolutely have to play for a win given their current position in the table.
Altach, on the other hand, are already happy to be as good as certain of staying in the league. Furthermore, the yellow card suspension against the reliable Reiner will present them with a major challenge.
