Liepaja – Austria Wien Tip Conference League Qualification, 2nd round, first leg on Thursday, 23/07/26 at 17:00
While football Austria is still quite baffled by the Linz football fairy tale, Austria wants to attack internationally! In any case, the first hurdle on the way to the Conference League league phase should not be a problem at all.
I choose the selection Sieg Austria Wien with HC -1 at the betting provider Mozzart at 2.10 primarily because the “Violets” should have an easy game against the Latvians, who are equipped with too little penetration on this stage, despite several significant departures.
FAK has also just won a convincing 4-1 victory over Hungarian FC Paksi. However, it is also clear that for a successful season in the long term, the departures of Barry, Ndukwe and Aleksa should be compensated for as quickly as possible on the transfer market.
Liepaja vs. Austria Wien AI predictions:
The Balts already had to intervene in the 1st round and were able to celebrate a 3-1 victory over Decic. Nevertheless, our supercomputer has also recognized that the available player material should hardly be sufficient for a deeper advance.
Our Liepaja Austria Wien AI prediction advises giving a free bet with the selection Win Austria Wien without conceding a goal at odds of around 2.18 a chance.
When FK Liepaja loses, it is usually without a sound anyway. Did you know that 10 of their 11 European Cup defeats ended without scoring a goal of their own and that they have never reached the 3rd qualifying round of a UEFA competition?

Home advantage is usually written in small letters in the Daugava Stadium, which has just over 5,000 spectators. In fact, the Balts only managed to win 3 of their 12 European home games. To make matters worse, the game will be played in Jurmala!
Consequently, with a significant portion of optimism, I am of the opinion that the selection Austria/Austria can be profitably placed on one’s own betting slip at odds of about 1.83 with a little luck.
In this context, I classify the special bet Austria Wien arrives in both halves as slightly riskier, but by no means unplayable. Especially since the 2.20 is fair in view of the lack of international experience of the Balts, who will not really play at home.
What you need to know about Liepaja vs. Austria Wien betting
- Not a real home game: Liepaja has to move to Jūrmala, 200 kilometers away – the home advantage shrinks statistically enormously as a result.
- In the juice vs. cold start: Liepaja is fully in the Latvian league, while the Viennese Austria plays their first competitive game of the season without a rhythm of play.
- Austria trauma: In 2016/17, the young fusion club failed in the Champions League qualifiers with two defeats (0-3 on aggregate) against Red Bull Salzburg.
- Market value gap: The Austria squad is five times more valuable than that of the Latvians. The bookmakers therefore list the Viennese away with a clear 1.45 favorite odds.
- Travel euphoria: Austria’s exclusive fan charter flight was sold out immediately. The “Violets” can expect a loud guest support in Latvia.
