Promotion is out of the question for two relegation fighters
It’s a classic relegation six-pointer in the Austrian 2. Liga when WSG Hertha Wels host SC Bregenz this Saturday, with both teams in the bottom five of the table. Our WSG Hertha Wels vs SC Bregenz prediction is that this meeting could prove crucial for both teams’ hopes of survival.
Hertha Wels are hovering around 14th place, with around seven points from 11 games, and SC Bregenz are sitting bottom or near-bottom of the pile with just three points so far this season.
Wels are the favorites to win the fixture at around even odds, but according to the WSG Hertha Wels vs SC Bregenz prediction, Bregenz are a useful team to have in the double chance market at roughly 3.35, with the 3.5 the two clubs share for the drawn game.
The bookmakers make Wels the rightful favorites.
In summer they signed young striker Fabian Lechner, who has already made an impact and scored a key equaliser, and Paul Gobara has been a set-piece threat and contributed a goal in their recent 3-2 win over Rapid Wien II.
Hertha Wels are more potent in attack
WSG Hertha Wels are a more attacking side under manager Christian Heinle, who has implemented a youthful squad with a structured possession-based system and an aggressive gegenpressing style to regain possession and counter-attack quickly.
Albin Gashi, the playmaker, is their star man, as he showed when he scored the winner against Rapid Wien II, but the team have been conceding a lot of goals recently - two or more in three of their last five matches, with both clubs scoring in four of those five, including the 4-3 defeat away to SV Stripfing. For those interested in WSG Hertha Wels vs SC Bregenz betting tips, recent form suggests goals could be likely in this one.
Bregenz are not as accomplished in possession, but they have enough of a goal threat from experienced players Daniel Nussbaumer, Jan Stefanon and Levan Eloshvili, even if none have found the net regularly this autumn.
Heraf has stablised the club after managerial merry-go-round
But the hosts are stronger in all areas of the field, especially in front of goal where Lechner brings some pace, energy and enthusiasm, while Paul Monsberger, who recently scored in the cup for Bregenz, can be a big threat off the bench.
Andreas Heraf has been back in charge, bringing some stability to the role after a managerial carousel this year, and he’s been sticking to his gameplan, which is to set up in a 5-4-1 formation and get men behind the ball. They are a limited side that have struggled to turn draws into wins.
The weather forecast for this afternoon’s kickoff in Wels looks perfect for soccer, as temperatures are expected to be cool with overcast conditions. This WSG Hertha Wels vs SC Bregenz preview suggests that if it was a matchup of two very good teams, we would expect a draw to occur, but the odds slightly favor Wels, and the final WSG Hertha Wels vs SC Bregenz prediction is that Wels have a good chance to pull off the win here, given they are the home side with the better and more prolific attacking players, and they are playing against a Bregenz squad in transition.
