May 16, 2025

The Austria Bundesliga encounter between Wolfsberger AC and Austria Wien is set for Sunday, 18 May 2025, at the Lavanttal Arena in Wolfsberg.

With spring temperatures rising, the Lavanttal Arena should provide an electric atmosphere. Wolfsberger AC will be keen to make home advantage count, while Austria Wien arrive determined to climb the standings. This preview covers form, predictions and the best betting odds ahead of the action.

How are both teams coming into this?

Wolfsberger AC have shown mixed form recently. After a bright start to the campaign, they’ve slipped to the mid-table area, picking up just one win in their last four league matches. Defensively solid at times, they’ve struggled to find consistency in front of goal, netting only three goals in those four outings.

Austria Wien arrive in slightly better shape, unbeaten in their past three outings with two draws and a hard-fought victory. Their midfield has provided good control of games, but finishing remains a concern. A strong road performance could see them edge closer to a European spot, making this fixture vital.

Our forecast

Expect a tight affair at the Lavanttal Arena. Both sides are cautious by nature, so the early exchanges may lack the spark of a goal-frenzied contest. A low-scoring draw is a distinct possibility given Wolfsberger’s recent home struggles and Austria’s conservative away approach.

However, a breakthrough late in the second half could tip the balance. Should one side capitalize on set-pieces or a defensive lapse, we could see a narrow 1-0 win. Overall, backing under 2.5 goals offers good value alongside a draw option in the double chance market.
