Match preview

Austria Salzburg host First Vienna in the Round of 32 of the Austrian Cup, just four weeks after the two sides met at the same venue in league action. In that previous encounter on August 8, Austria Salzburg ran out comfortable 4-1 winners, showcasing their attacking sharpness in front of their home supporters.

Both teams have shown positive scoring form in cup and regular competition. Austria Salzburg have recorded victories including a 3-2 home win over SV Kapfenberg and a 2-0 away win at WSPG Wels across their recent fixtures. First Vienna arrive on the back of consecutive 1-0 victories against Admira Wacker and SKU Amstetten, but their earlier high-scoring results against FC Liefering and Austria Salzburg indicate their vulnerability on the road.

With a place in the next round at stake in this knockout clash, both attacks possess the firepower to create openings, mirroring the open style seen in their previous meetings.
