Our SC Bregenz vs SC Austria Lustenau preview suggests that both teams will approach the derby with contrasting strategies and ambitions.
Markus Mader has done a good job since taking over as SC Austria Lustenau manager in December 2024. He has got the team to play in a structured, possession-based system, with their narrow 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formations often giving them control of the midfield, which allows them to build up play in a controlled manner.
SC Bregenz are much more pragmatic in their approach, with Andreas Heraf, who took over as head coach in October 2025, likely to set his team up to be solid defensively, with plenty of width to switch the ball and look to transition the play quickly, especially from set pieces.
All eyes on the attacking players
Jack Lahne is Austria Lustenau’s main threat in front of goal, with the striker netting 5 times in 12 league games this season. However, Daniel Nussbaumer has been just as lethal in a SC Bregenz shirt, finding the back of the net 4 times in just 6 league appearances this term.
