VIENNA (Interstat) — First Vienna FC 1894 hosts Alt/Vorderland W on Sunday in a Frauenliga match with both sides looking to build momentum ahead of the international break.

The fixture at Vienna’s Hohe Warte stadium is a rematch of a 2-2 draw from Oct. 4, suggesting another tightly contested affair. However, the teams enter in contrasting form.

First Vienna (6-3-5) is buoyed by a 3-1 road victory over SPG Union Kleinmünchen/BW Linz last Sunday. That win snapped a two-match home skid and showcased an attack that has averaged two goals per game in its last five outings. Key to their success has been a sturdy home record, losing just once in their last six matches in Vienna across all competitions.

Alt/Vorderland W (5-5-5) arrives reeling from a 9-1 home defeat to powerhouse St. Pölten last weekend, a result that exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Prior to that lopsided loss, the visitors had shown resilience, including a 2-1 win at Linzer ASK W in February and the earlier draw with Vienna. Their road form has been a mixed bag, with three wins, a draw and three losses this season.

The statistical service Interstat projects a 2-1 victory for Alt/Vorderland W, a forecast that likely hinges on the visitors rebounding from their historic defeat.

Sunday’s result could prove pivotal for mid-table positioning. A win for Vienna would solidify its standing and provide a boost before a difficult trip to Linzer ASK W on March 28. For Alt/Vorderland, securing points is critical to stabilize after the St. Pölten loss before hosting Sturm Graz W on March 29.

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. local time (1300 GMT).
