Week 3 features a match on Sunday Aug 7th, where Wattens will play host to Austria Klagenfurt in a meeting of these two Tipico Bundesliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which is great football weather. Wattens is fresh off their 2-1 win against Hartberg. Okan Aydın struck first for Hartberg in the 37th minute, then Sandi Ogrinec tied it up for Wattens in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 55th minute on a penalty goal by Tim Prica. Wattens is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while austria Klagenfurt is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Rapid Wien. Guido Burgstaller scored the first goal for Rapid Wien in the 66th minute on a penalty shot, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Austria Klagenfurt was frustrated by Rapid Wien’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Rapid Wien ended the match with the shutout victory. Austria Klagenfurt looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Austria Klagenfurt won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Patrick Greil and Turgay Gemicibaşi are the top scorers for Austria Klagenfurt in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Both Forst and Tim Prica have been the hottest scorers for Wattens in the last 5 each having scored 3 goals each.
