This is a 2. Liga meeting between two sides with contrasting recent results, and CheckLive have not marked either team as favourite, which tells you how evenly matched this looks. With no clear favourite, a draw is very much a live possibility alongside either side taking the points.
FC Liefering come in with one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five, beating Kapfenberger SV 4-0 but losing to SPG Wels and two friendly opponents. Young Violets Austria Wien have won four of their last five, including a 3-1 win over Austria Salzburg and a 1-0 victory at SKN St. Pölten, though they lost 0-3 to Blau Weiss Linz.
The head-to-head is heavily in FC Liefering's favour: eight meetings, six wins and two draws, with no Young Violets victory. They also won the last encounter 2-0, but Young Violets' recent scoring form suggests this could be tighter than that record implies.
