National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Gurten or Rheindorf Altach that keep their silverware dream alive.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Tipico Bundesliga game only four days ago.
Gurten form and stats
Gurten participated in Austrian Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.It’s been three wins in a row for Gurten here at Park21-Arena Gurten, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
A good away victory last time out for Gurten, who won 3-0 against Union Vöcklamarkt. A strong away win before that one, visiting Wolfsberger AC II and winning 2-0.
The 3-0 win against Union Vöcklamarkt was decided after a strong and deadly first half, making the second half more of a journey towards the final whistle.
There will be little rest for Gurten after this match as they are travelling to Ried II for a Regionalliga: Mitte game in only three days.
Rheindorf Altach form and stats
Rheindorf's mission in Austrian Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.Rheindorf seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
There were no winners in Rheindorf's previous match, a Tipico Bundesliga home game that ended 1-1 vs Hartberg. A 0-1 defeat away at Austria Wien before that.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Rheindorf given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed two matches with two wins as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won two of these games by at least two goals.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rheindorf Altach manager A. Pastoor as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Salzburg.
