An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 12th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Relegation threatens Wattens who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Mattersburg it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
