Austria Vienna vs Wacker Innsbruck Prediction & Betting tips
This weekend also starts the Austrian Bundesliga in their new season. The 45th season will be played. The championship was increased from 10 to 12 teams. In addition, championship and relegation will be played out in play-offs in the future. However, the title race promises little excitement: Since 2013/14, the championship always went exclusively to RB Salzburg. The season 2018/19 will open on Friday evening in the new Generali Arena in Vienna: Austria Vienna welcomes Wacker Innsbruck. The Austria wants after a disappointing seventh place in the last season again among the best clubs in Austria and also back to the European Cup. With eleven departures and eleven new entries, the squad was exchanged vigorously. For the newcomer Wacker Innsbruck, the goal is initially only relegation. But according to coach Daxbacher, they had come to stay. For the match between Austria Wien and Innsbruck we found a tip with great odds.
Austria Vienna:
Since February 2018, the Austria of Thomas Letsch, who was also briefly at Erzgebirge Aue contract trained. He replaced the unsuccessful Thorsten Fink. At the end of last season, Austria had a gap of eight points to the first European Cup place and 40 points to champions RB Salzburg. In the 36 season games, there had been 12 wins, 7 draws and 17 defeats. Away there were only four wins in 18 games. The minimum goal for the coming season is return to international business. This is now being played in a new system. The return to the old homeland should contribute to a successful new season. After two years exile in the Ernst Happel Stadium, Austria can finally play again in their Generali Arena, which was rebuilt for 42 million euros.
The team was strengthened by, among others, loaned by Salzburg Brazilian Igor, Thomas Ebner, the Serbs Uros Matic, the Australian James Jeggo, the Israeli Alon Turgeman, the Nigerian Bright Edomwonyi and goalkeeper Ivan Lucic. In the pre-season the violets completed four friendly matches: 2-0 against Union Mauer, 0-3 against Schachtjor Donetsk, 2-2 against Arsenal Tula and 0-1 against Borussia Dortmund. In the first round of the Cup Austria prevailed last weekend with 4: 0 sovereign at the country league FV Austria XIII. The transfer of Chilean international Cristian Cuevas to Austria was announced last week.
Innsbruck:
With ten league titles and seven Cup wins, FC Wacker Innsbruck is still the third most successful club in Austria. After four years in the second league, the Tyroleans finally managed to return to the Bundesliga in the last season. The advantage over second-placed TSV Hartberg was three points. In 36 games there were 21 wins, but also 7 defeats. In front of their home fans, Innsbruck won 12 of 18 games and suffered only one defeat. In addition, they conceded at home only nine goals. With a total of 31 goals conceded Wacker also had the best overall defense of the second league. On the sideline, the newcomer relies on experience: With the 65-year-old Karl Daxbacher Innsbruck is the oldest and most experienced coach of the Bundesliga, as a former Austria Vienna coach, he is particularly motivated to hire his Innsbruck team. The coach remains modest before the season. For sixth place, so the participation in the upper playoff must fit very, very much.
The advantage could be that you can go as an outsider and relatively unencumbered in the games. Especially on the offensive, the staffing level at the Tyroleans is quite thin. Tailed before the season was the departure of midfielder Florian Jamnig. Reinforced the club “only” with free transfer players from lower grades. In preparation, there was a 1: 2 against the Bulgarian champions Razgrad Ludogorets, a 2-0 against the Russian first division Achmat Grozny, a 0-0 against Qarabag Agdam, a 1-0 against the Japanese first division newly promoted V-Varen Nagasaki, a 0-2 draw against FC Basel, a 0-2 draw against Czech champions Viktoria Pilsen and a 0-2 draw against FC Ingolstadt. Also in the first round of the Cup, the climber had quite trouble: Last weekend, Innsbruck won 3-2 at the regional league team Wiener Linien. The Slovenian Patrik Eler missed the season opener because of a torn muscle.
