Wacker Innsbruck vs FC Juniors Prediction & Betting tips
This question will be answered on Friday evening. The fourth match day in the second highest Austrian league is on the program. After the first three rounds, four teams stand at seven points and thus at the top.
Wacker Innsbruck is not in this elite circle, but the opponent can look back on such a strong start to the season on Friday night. At the Tivoli Stadium on Friday evening from 18:10 clock Wacker Innsbruck and the FC Juniors – the second guard of the LASK – opposite.
The former champion from Innsbruck lost the first two away games and was able to celebrate in the stranger still no goal. The only home game could be won just 1: 0. On Friday, the second win of the season is targeted and although the guests from Upper Austria acted so far very strong, the home side are treated as a favorite.
Wacker Innsbruck:
A transitional year is the current season for Wacker Innsbruck. Nobody expected the relegation in the camp of the Tyrol in the previous year – and without dividing the points after the basic round, the team would have held the class as well. But the new system, which enabled the Tyrolese to climb, ultimately ensured a direct relegation.
A descent that also financially tore a big hole in the already clammy budget. Accordingly, the current season is considered a year of consolidation. Great earners were given, young talents form the skeleton of the team. The club managers are aware that in comparison to the strong competition from Lustenau or Ried the quality and experience is lacking in order to be able to play at the top.
Despite only three points from the first three games, playful the team can not be accused much. However, the young talents have visible problems against the defensive opponents. Wacker Innbruck will be relegated to the role of favorite, and this pressure is often inhibiting for the youngster. In the previous year, as many players have already played in this league in the second team of Wacker Innsbruck, one could still hide a little in the shadow of the first team. Now these actors are the figurehead. A new situation that certainly takes time.
Head coach Thomas Grumser still demands results football in the coming weeks and takes the offensive into account. Only one goal in three games is no coincidence, many chances were not earned, because the last pass is always too inaccurate.
FC Juniors:
FC Juniors, Juniors Upper Austria or LASK Juniors – there are some names for the second guard of the Austrian Vice-Champion. By increasing from ten to 16 teams, the black and white have sent a second guard in the paid professional football. With seventh place a more than satisfying result could be achieved. The games of FC Juniors were marked by many goals. No fewer than 107 goals have been scored in the 30 games, averaging over 3.5 goals per game.
After the strong performance head coach Andreas Wieland was promoted and is now assistant coach for the first team. Gerald Scheiblehner, longtime coach of Vorwärts Steyr, has taken the helm and is responsible for the development of the youngsters. The Juniors do more than live up to their name. At the age of 22, Christopher Cvetko is the oldest player in the squad. The average age last weekend in the home game against SV Kapfenberg was just 20.4 years.
Thanks to a strike by Fabian Benko – who was previously active in Bayern’s young talents – the Juniors were able to prevail with just 1: 0 and celebrated the second home win in a row. The only away game – at SV Lafnitz – ended on Matchday 1 with a goalless draw.
That the FC Juniors are much stronger at home than in foreign countries is not new. In the previous year there were on average not even a single counter per game. Only four of the 15 away games were won. Only 17 goals were scored, while at home they scored 35 goals.
