Prediction Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz vs Ried 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Austrian Cup on 29/10/2025

Match overview and form check

Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz will welcome Ried to the ImmoAgentur Stadion Bregenz on October 29 for a Round of 16 clash in the Austrian Cup, and the narrative heading into the tie is one of momentum versus home resilience. Bregenz have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, scraping a 1-1 draw with Kapfenberger SV on October 24 after a string of defeats and low-scoring stalemates. Their sequence of results paints a picture of a side that is hard to break down at times but blunt in attack: across the recent run they mustered only a single win in ten outings and several draws that underline an inability to close matches in their favour.

Ried, by contrast, arrive with confidence from league action. Recent victories over Wolfsberger AC and WSG Tirol have steadied their season and produced a streak of positive results. The away side’s recent form shows more winning pedigree: five wins in their last ten outings and a go-to ability to convert chances at crucial moments. That confidence matters in a knockout setting where momentum often carries teams through.

Tactical angles and what to expect

Statistically the contest suggests an intriguing clash of styles. Ried’s attacking numbers jump off the page — an average of 71.5 attacks and 54 dangerous attacks per match — indicating sustained pressure and a willingness to press forward. They also average nearly ten corners per game, a figure that signals territorial dominance and set-piece opportunities. Bregenz, meanwhile, show a decent shot productivity at home with a higher shots-on-target figure in their recent metrics, and they’ve kept two clean sheets in the period covered, suggesting they can be stubborn defensively at ImmoAgentur Stadion. The last meeting between these sides in May ended 1-4 in Ried’s favour, a reminder that the away side can both score and impose themselves.

Both teams have recorded two clean sheets recently, so there is an element of defensive organisation at play; however, Ried’s ability to create sustained danger and accumulate corners gives them the edge when the game opens up. Cup ties can be cagey, but the data points to Ried being the side more likely to force openings and capitalize on them.

Key performers and decisive factors

Individual standouts from the recent fixtures include Stefan Umjenović for Bregenz, who earned best-player praise in their draw with Kapfenberger SV, and Kingstone Mutandwa for Ried, whose outstanding rating in the Wolfsberger clash highlights his influence in a big away win. Those performances encapsulate the contrast: Bregenz finding moments of solidity, and Ried producing match-winning displays.

Betting suggestion (1X2): Back Ried to win. Ried’s superior recent form, higher attacking volume and the decisive 4-1 result the last time these sides met all point to the away team as the best 1X2 option for this cup tie.
