Mattersburg vs Austria Vienna Match Preview

Mattersburg played a draw 1-1 in their midweek game against Schwarowski Vatens in Tyrol. After this outcome, they remained undefeated for a third consecutive game in the relegation playoffs, having three points more than the last place, which leads to the second division. However, the difference from the top duo that gives a place for the Europa League playoff games is just two points.

Unavailable for today's game is the midfielder Gruber who collected yellow cards and has to serve his suspension.

Austria Vienna had a quite mediocre performance last Tuesday, facing a 2-0 defeat to Altach on the road, a result that allowed their opponents to overtake them in the standings. Now the pressure is rising for them since their difference from the last position is just 5 points with 7 rounds remaining until the end of the season.

In the match against Altach, the midfielder Sax was red-carded so he will miss tonight's game. Goalkeeper Lucic remains injured, as well as the defenders Poulsen and Schoissengeyr.

Mattersburg look more solid after the resumption of the Austrian Bundesliga. Austria Vienna may have started with victory in this mini championship, but in their following two matches, their performance was pretty average since they took just one point. The home advantage may not be a significant factor in this game since it will be held behind closed doors, however, I think that Matersburg has a better chance to grab all three points here.
