WSG Wattens have managed only 6 wins from their last 20, with 8 losses. Their recent Bundesliga games have been tough going, with defeats to Rapid Vienna, Austria Lustenau and Red Bull Salzburg, though they did beat Austria Vienna and Austria Lustenau away in earlier fixtures this year.

Wattens' sample includes several Bundesliga away trips against stronger opposition, so the two records aren't directly comparable across divisions.

Comparative Team Statistics: Wacker Innsbruck vs WSG Wattens

A history that doesn't tell us much now

The last meeting between these two came back in 2018, when both were in the 2. Liga together. Wattens have since moved up and been playing Bundesliga football, so that old head-to-head record doesn't really reflect where either side is at now.

What to watch for in this cup tie

Cup matches between sides from different divisions can go either way. Innsbruck arrive with the better recent numbers and home advantage, while Wattens have shown they can still put results together, like their away wins earlier in the year, even if their Bundesliga form has been patchy lately.

With no head-to-head meetings in recent years and no clear market signal here, this looks like one where recent form matters more than history, but form built in different divisions still leaves some uncertainty.
