At the top of the table are Blau-Weiß Linz, Lafnitz and Liefering. Austria Klagenfurt lies in wait, five points behind the leader. The relegation battle is also extremely exciting this season.

SC Austria Lustenau – KSV 1919
Live ticker SC Austria Lustenau vs. KSV 1919
The Vorarlberg team had barely had a sense of achievement when another setback followed on Tuesday. In the Vorarlberg derby against Dornbirn it was a 0-2 defeat. This means that the Lustenauer remain in the middle of the relegation battle in the second division. Only two points separate the Vorarlbergers from 13th place. The bottom of the table is four counters away. A difficult home game against Kapfenberger SV awaits Austria from Lustenau on Friday. The Falken recently celebrated a narrow 1-0 home win against leaders Lafnitz after two defeats in a row. The Kapfenbergers have nothing to do with relegation and are currently in seventh place.

SV Licht Loidl Lafnitz – FC Dornbirn
Live ticker SV Licht Loidl Lafnitz versus FC Dornbirn
Only one win from the last five games: SV Lafnitz has not been going well lately. In the last league game, the Oststeirer had to admit defeat to KSV 0: 1. Meanwhile, SV Lafnitz had to give up the championship lead. On Friday evening, Philipp Semlic's protégés have a difficult home game against FC Dornbirn on the program. Vorarlberg have been playing an extremely solid season so far and recently celebrated a 2-0 win against Austria Lustenau. In the table, Dornbirn is in eighth place in the secured midfield.

Young Violets Austria Vienna – FC Wacker Innsbruck
Live ticker Young Violets Austria Vienna vs. FC Wacker Innsbruck
It still remains to be seen whether this game can even take place on Saturday afternoon, as there were or could still be numerous corona cases among the Young Violets. As of Wednesday, 12 players were affected. As a result, the away game against FC Liefering had to be canceled. If the situation improves and the game can be played, the Innsbruck team will of course be the big favorites. The Tyroleans trembled to a 3-2 victory in Horn, but in the first 30 minutes the Innsbruckers were able to impressively show why they will match Klagenfurt for promotion. Wacker is currently in fifth place with 39 points. The gap to Klagenfurt is two points.

SKU Amstetten – FC Liefering

The SKU Amstetten can not end its negative run: The 1: 6 against Austria Klagenfurt was already the fourth clear defeat in a row. A few weeks ago you could not have imagined that the Lower Austrians could “slide in” again, but now you have to be careful with the SKU that you don't end up in a relegation zone soon. FC Liefering does not have to struggle with these problems. The young bulls are currently in second place in the table. The last planned home game against the Young Violets had to be canceled due to numerous corona cases on the part of the Young Violets.

FC Juniors Upper Austria – FAC
Live ticker FC Juniors OÖ versus FAC
Two teams collide that have recently suffered defeats. In their own stadium, the Juniors OÖ lack any constancy. Strong performances are followed immediately by results that one did not expect. Accordingly, the talent factory is again this time, only difficult to verify. But the fact is that you want to forget the 0: 3 slip at the GAK. The Floridsdorfers can be found permanently at eye level in spring. Nevertheless, it is only enough to win one of the 10 matches. In a foreign country you have been chasing a complete success for 9 games.

FC Blau-Weiß Linz – SK BMD Forward Steyr
Live ticker FC Blau-Weiß Linz vs. SK BMD Vorwärts Steyr
The “Royal Blues” have recently taken the lead in the standings with consistently strong performances. If the Linzers have their way, it should stay that way in the remaining games. Above all, the offensive department with 54 marked hits in 22 games can play itself in the foreground with the blue-whites. Steyr, the Linzers can win 7 of the last 8 home games, will probably have to work hard. Although Vorwärts got back on track after 8 rounds without a win. This is how the Milot squad managed to credit the full number of points at Rapid II, against Horn and at FAC Vienna.

SK Austria Klagenfurt – GAK 1902
Live ticker SK Austria Klagenfurt versus GAK 1902
The big hit goes on Sunday morning in the Wörthersee Stadium. There comes a meeting of two teams willing to advance who have already received the necessary license. With a win, Klagenfurt has the opportunity to come one step closer to the Bundesliga. The Pacult squad is in great shape, as the 5-0 home win against KSV and the 6-1 in Amstetten underline. Of course, the Carinthians have put out feelers to score three more points. What then would mean for the GAK that you have to say goodbye to the promotion fight. But the other way around, with a win in Graz, things get a lot closer.

The penultimate receives the last. Which team succeeds in this “basement derby”, the connection to the table middle field again. The Hütteldorfer started the spring very well. But at the end of the day you have a hangover with three defeats. The aim of the young Rapidler is to end this negative run. Which is also quite conceivable against the Waldviertler. Because at the Hornern in the spring almost nothing comes together. In the last 7 matches it is enough for 10:23 goals, just two points. It is therefore not surprising that you are the bearer of the red lantern.
