VIENNA (Interstat) — First Vienna hosts Wels on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in an Austrian 2. Liga match that carries playoff implications for both sides. Kickoff is at Hohe Warte Stadium.

First Vienna (5-2-3 in its last 10 league matches) enters on the heels of a scoreless draw at Amstetten on April 24. The Vienna side has shown resilience at home, with victories against Austria Lustenau and Aust Klagenfurt in recent weeks, but has also dropped points in low-scoring affairs. A 0-0 draw at FC Flyeralarm Admira on April 17 was followed by an upset 2-1 win at Sturm Graz on April 12.

Wels (4-3-3 in its last 10) arrives after a 3-2 victory at S-W Bregenz on April 24, snapping a two-match winless streak. That result followed a 4-1 win at Rapid Wien II on April 10 and a 1-1 draw at Austria Salzburg on April 6. The visitors have demonstrated scoring punch — five goals at Liefering on March 20 — but have also suffered defensive lapses, including a 3-1 loss at Floridsdorfer in December.

The most recent head-to-head meeting, Nov. 7, 2025, ended scoreless at Wels.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 3-1 victory for First Vienna, which would move the home side into the upper half of the 2. Liga table. Wels, currently mid-table, is looking to build momentum after its win at Bregenz.

First Vienna will travel to Rapid Wien II on May 8 before hosting S-W Bregenz on May 14. Wels hosts Sturm Graz on May 8 and visits Saint Polten on May 14.
