Prediction Kapfenberger SV vs Rheindorf Altach 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Austrian Cup on 28/10/2025

Match context and recent form

The Franz-Fekete-Stadion in Kapfenberg will host this Round of 16 clash in the Austrian Cup on 28 October 2025, kicking off at 19:30 local time. Kapfenberger SV arrive off a run of mixed to disappointing league results; their recent five-match log shows two draws against Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz and Austria Klagenfurt but also defeats at Rapid Wien II, First Vienna and Amstetten. Those results underline a side struggling for consistency, especially at the business end of the field where they have produced few clinical finishes. Rheindorf Altach, by contrast, have shown resilience in the top flight — a 2-2 draw with Salzburg in their most recent outing will have boosted belief — although their league ledger also includes losses and draws. On form, Altach look steadier and perhaps a touch sharper in transitions and chance creation.

Statistical edge and tactical outlook

The underlying numbers give Rheindorf Altach a tangible attacking edge. Across the recent sample, Altach have generated more shots overall and a notably higher number of attempts on target. Kapfenberger have mustered a respectable volume of total shots but fewer on target, suggesting that while they probe and press, they have lacked the finishing touch. Altach’s shots-on-target figure and greater rate of goals scored away from home point to an ability to convert opportunities and to impose themselves even outside familiar surroundings. The H2H ledger between the two is sparse in the modern era, but their last recorded meeting returned a convincing 3-0 win for Altach — an historical footnote that adds psychological weight heading into this cup tie.

Key players and momentum

Individual match-impact data from the most recent fixtures shows Kapfenberger’s Luca Hassler registering a solid outing in a draw, while Rheindorf Altach’s Ousmane Diawara earned high praise after the draw with Salzburg. Those performances reflect current momentum: Kapfenberger trying to arrest a slide and find sharper finishing, Altach demonstrating the capacity to trouble stronger opponents and secure results. Cup ties often hinge on who takes their chances and who controls the tempo; the numbers suggest Altach are likelier to create higher-quality openings.

Final verdict and betting suggestion

Given the combination of recent results, the attacking statistics favoring the visitors, and Altach’s capacity to produce more shots on target and find the net in away fixtures, the clearest single-market play from the available data is to back Rheindorf Altach to win in the 1X2 market. This selection aligns with the form trends and shot metrics that point to Altach progressing from Kapfenberg. Betting suggestion: Back Rheindorf Altach (Away win) in the 1X2 market.
