WSPG Wels vs Wolfsberger AC Prediction

Neither side arrives with much confidence

Wolfsberger AC's overall record over their last 20 matches looks decent on paper, with more wins than losses and plenty of goals scored. But that sample includes a lot of friendlies and lower-key cup games, some won very heavily. Their run of actual Bundesliga matches tells a different story: losses to Ried, Rapid Vienna and Lask Linz in their last several league outings, with only a couple of draws mixed in.

WSPG Wels: 20 completed matches; Wolfsberger AC: 20 completed matches.

WSPG Wels have had a tougher time of it in the 2. Liga. Over their last 20 matches they've lost more than half, and their recent league form is especially poor, just one draw across their last eight competitive matches with defeats piling up both home and away.

Both sides go into this cup tie carrying poor recent form, so the gap in division doesn't automatically point to an easy night for the visitors.

Comparative Team Statistics: WSPG Wels vs Wolfsberger AC

A cup tie that could go either way

This fixture is a month on from when we're looking at the numbers, so the current form of both sides is a snapshot rather than a guarantee of how they'll turn up. Wolfsberger have time to find their footing again, and Wels have time to keep sliding or to steady themselves.

Cup matches between sides from different divisions can be unpredictable anyway. Add in the fact that neither team has looked convincing recently, and this reads as a genuinely open contest rather than a formality for the Bundesliga club.
