Altach take on the visitors Austria Vienna at “Cashpoint-Arena” in the opening game of the Austrian Tipico Bundesliga 2017/2018. The match will be played on Sunday, July 23rd.
Altach collapsed at the end of last season: the side recorded 12-clash series without victories in the elite division and last time it won was on the 11th of March. As a result, of that failure the team had lost the silver medals as Altach finished the season sitting on the fourth place in the standings with 53 points earned being 10 points below Austria Vienna settling on the second position in the table. In summer Klaus Schmidt’s side conducted five matches: it smashed Dornbirn in the OFB Cup with 5:1 scoreline and passed through two qualification rounds in the UEFA Europa League having knocked out Chikhura 1:0, 1:1 and Brest 1:1, 3:0.

Austria Vienna are the vice-champions of the previous season’s Tipico Bundesliga with 63 points taken and 72-50 goal difference having passed ahead only Salzburg. In summer “Die Veilchen” participated only in friendly battles and played six encounters resulting in four triumphs, one draw and one defeat. In the OFB Cup Austria Vienna gained strained victory over Ebreichsdorf with 1:0 scoreline in penalty shoot-out meaning that the side is struggling at the start of the season.
Altach were broken by Austria Vienna only once in six recent head-to-heads. Taking into consideration the home-field character of the game, plus Altach’s participation in the Eurocup’s battles, I believe that the hosts will pick up at least one point in Sunday clash.
Prediction for the match: Altach to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
