A. Lustenau vs Wacker Innsbruck Prediction & Betting tips
The corona virus completely paralyzes Swiss sport in March. The Planet Pure Stadium from Austria Lustenau is less than 500 meters away from the Swiss border. In Austria, however, the ball rolls quite normally and there are no restrictions regarding spectators (keyword ghost games) so far.
On Wednesday evening, the “Underdog semi-final” in the ÖFB Cup is on the program – this will lead to the West Derby between Austria Lustenau and Wacker Innsbruck.
The Austrian Cup competition seems to be in western hands this season anyway, because together with the recently troubled Red Bull Salzburg, three of the four remaining participants are based in western Austria. The fact is that the winner of this duel in the final at Wörthersee Stadium will be a blatant outsider.
After all, there are two second division teams facing each other in this cup semi-final. Another common feature is the fact that the financial situation of both clubs has to be classified as precarious. The premiums for the final could massively relieve the budget. The game starts on Wednesday at 17 p.m.
Lustenau:
Year after year, the green-whites from Lustenau have the goal of finally leaving the second division and celebrating their return to the Bundesliga. After Hubert Nagel sawed off “armchair stool” after what seemed like an eternity, a committee of several took over his duties. The club should be modernized.
With the commitment of a Swiss investor, the Vorarlbergers apparently managed a coup. However, the ways of the businessman and the club separated again after Lustenau was not ready to sell part of the shares. Once again there is a gap in the budget and big leaps are not possible.
After the head coach Roman Mählich’s team kicked off the Bundesliga team WSG Tirol on penalties at the 2020 season opener, there was a confident 4: 1- at the start of the league in the Vorarlberg derby against neighbor Dornbirn (less than ten kilometers as the crow flies between the two towns) Success.
The mini-mini opportunity – for true optimists – on the climb was lost last weekend. In the away game for leaders SV Ried, they lost 0-1 to Vorarlberg due to a Stumberger own goal. With 26 points and an 8-2-8 record, the club presents itself as a pure mediocrity in the current season.
The cup final would be balm for the souls. In many places, the “easy lot” can be heard around Lustenauer. Of course, a home game against another second division team in the cup semi-finals is anything but a horror lot, but the game is by no means a sure-fire success. In our opinion, the best bookmakers on the market between Austria Lustenau and Wacker Innsbruck offer odds too low on the home side.
The Brazilian Ronivaldo is the great hope in the home side’s camp. The 30-year-old center forward is the top scorer with 15 goals and is always in danger. Lustenau cannot count on his striker partner Patrik Eler (knee injury) and Lukas Katnik (broken arm) due to injury.
Wacker Innsbruck:
Part two of the Vorarlberg double for Thomas Grumser’s team! On Sunday morning, the Innsbruckers were guests on the Birkenwiese in Dornbirn and confidently prevailed in the duel promoted against relegated. From the beginning, the guests took command and were particularly dangerous when the balls were still.
The 4-0 win at this level was certainly not to be expected, because the Innsbruck team had previously scored just eight goals in seven away games. Three of the four goals were scored after a corner kick. Thanks to the three points in the Ländle, it was not only possible to increase the gap to the first relegation zone to eight points, but the look at our betting service table service already shows Innsbruckers in fifth place in the table. Only because of the poorer goal difference Innsbruck has no “podium”.
The semi-final is a great opportunity for both teams. The West Derby will definitely be well attended, as more than 1,000 fans have already announced themselves from the Wacker Innsbruck warehouse. In this regard, Austria Lustenau coach Roman Mählich made an appeal to his fans at the press conference and asked them to visit the stadium. The fear is that there will be more Tyroleans than Vorarlbergers in the Planet Pure Stadium.
The home advantage will certainly be weakened and the players on the lawn can adjust to a great backdrop. In view of the latest performances, we do not see the guests at a disadvantage and accordingly find the forecast for the guests in the cup semi-final between Austria Lustenau and Wacker Innsbruck.
