Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Austrian Bundesliga match.
The opening round of the Austrian Bundesliga sees Wolfsberger AC host SCR Altach in a fixture that could set the tone for both sides' campaigns. The hosts will aim to assert their dominance early, while the visitors will be hoping to snatch points away from home.
Wolfsberger AC
Wolfsberger have shown a balanced style of play in recent seasons, averaging 1.4 goals per game while conceding around 1.2. They are typically much more confident at home, where crowd support often plays to their advantage. Expect the home side to focus on controlling the midfield and attacking via the flanks, looking to create a steady stream of chances.
SCR Altach
Altach, by contrast, continue to struggle in front of goal — especially away from home. They’ve failed to score in their last four league outings on the road and average just 0.8 goals per game. Defensively, they also concede around 1.2 per match, indicating vulnerabilities that could be exposed here. Their lack of cutting edge away from home could prove decisive in this fixture.
Wolfsberger AC vs SCR Altach Prediction
Given their superior attacking metrics and the boost of home support, Wolfsberger appear better positioned to kick off the season with a win. Altach’s travel struggles and toothless attack only strengthen the case for a home victory.
